I was a driver/handyman in a siberian science expedition once, and one of the locals had befriended a local alpha grey wolf, so he took me out to say hi to it ... took about an hour before the alpha wanted to approach me ... and then about 10 minutes after that, the entire bloody wolfpack lay in a pile on top of me, licking my face, thinking I was now part of the pack.
And when I didn't sleep with the pack - I could just see them think "Humans are weird."
And definately one of the main reasons for not staying and sleep with them.
But it seemed to me at least, that we were too different to the wolves that we weren't really a challenge to the ranks in the pack as long as the alpha approved of us. Sorta like how puppies will trust you endlessly if the mother dog approves of you.
My main argument still stands, wolves are very, VERY social.
Which is ironic, because of the saying "he's a lone wolf"
A rather appropriate irony, when considering that real lone wolves are alone due to circumstances like being too different or antisocial to belong in a pack, or heck, even getting fed up with being an omega. Sadly, these kinds of lone wolves tend to not last long.
@NoLifeSketh they've been held that waY BY THE NATIVE AMERICANS for thousands of yrs they've also been worshippped revered and now-a-days hunted by farmers to protect thier livestock and such....that's soon to change tho with the unlocking wolf secrets
@Clorox43434 According to WOLF volunteer Steve Shaffer, "They do for warmth and/or protection (pups) or if they’re in the mood. Wolves are extremely family oriented. I can tell you from firsthand experience they curl up and keep each other warm. I spent a night with the house pack when there were six or seven critters in the cabin at night, and they had me covered north, south, east and west…didn’t even need a blanket even though it gets very cool in the mountains at night."
@CBH1864 Thanks for the info. I have multiple questions.
What happens if a wolf in the pack acts out of line like gets dominant with the alpha male WITh WILD WOLVES. I was told Wild Wolves will usually kill Loan Wolves & if a wolf member acts out of line, the wolf usually gets ***** up. Is this true?
@Clorox43434 According to WOLF's Frank Wendland: In the wild, jousting for an alpha position is very common. There are battles, which are mostly ritualistic. Wolves usually will not push a battle to lethal levels. When the weaker of the two individuals realizes they are weaker, they will usually end the test and just go back to being a lower level member of the pack. When the two individuals are very close in strength and dominance, the most common result will be for one to leave the pack.

Wolves are so social, it almost hurts.
I was a driver/handyman in a siberian science expedition once, and one of the locals had befriended a local alpha grey wolf, so he took me out to say hi to it ... took about an hour before the alpha wanted to approach me ... and then about 10 minutes after that, the entire bloody wolfpack lay in a pile on top of me, licking my face, thinking I was now part of the pack.

There is that risk, yes.

I have a question, do wolf packs sleep together? Side by side?
