Question, is it the crows or ravens that are friends with wolves?
I wasn't expecting a wolf gangster story with a romance tragedy subplot.
West side story but with wolves.
@@MirrimBlackfox would be an interesting movie.
DAMN NATURE!
I just feel bad for the pups in this story
Saaammeee bbrroo!!!!!
there's A LOT more to Casanova, he's credited as one of the longest lived wolves of yellow stone making it to roughly 9 years of age and being the most prolific fathers in yellowstone.
He went down in history to being the only male wolf who fathered the most pups...and almost all of them were in secret. In the end he did become the leader of the pack, and ruled it until the age of 9 years. Plus, Casanova was the only wolf who didn't resort to violence...he used his cunning and charm to weave his way to the top. Long live Casanova, Aka...Yellowstone Wolf 302. Or as the Nat Geo Wild documentary calls him: Black Wolf.
Don Lothario of wolf pax goes Goth
Not only did he have black fur but he led the new druid pack to victory as their leader now thats a main character lmao
Max charisma stats
"most prolific father" is one hell of a title to give someone, lol
There is honestly something deeply disturbing about watching those ravens speak. Like... They're _good_ at it .
Don't worry too much, it's not too hard to befriend crows

They also understand trade and will bring objects like money & jewelry. Anything light-weight and small.
But they’re tiny and cute tho😶🌫️
@@blackirontarkus3156 I fed some ravens cool ranch Doritos on lunch during work today and one of the first visitors was a baby raven and a few cautious defenders. The baby ate plenty until we left for the next worksite and the flock joined in on the snacking as soon as the engine kicked up.
Always intelligent and interesting creatures, they'll always remember your kindness!
The story you told of Cassanova is actually the sequel. The first in the series was the tale of 42, The Cinderella Wolf. 42 was one of the first wolves brought to Yellowstone and she spent most of her early life being thrashed by her ultra aggressive sister, 40. One day when 40 threatened her pups 42 snapped and killed her, moved her pups into 40's old den and raised both litters together. It was under her leadership The Druids became so large in numbers. Her daughters went to spread her tenacity to other packs. 42 was killed by the Sloughs and her mate 21 was devasted.
Did 21 get revenge?

That "crows are domesticating wolves the same way we did" line kinda gave me chills I won't lie. The fact a bird that can recognize faces, hold grudges, and talk gossip could also theoretically convince a pack of wolves you're trying to steal their food is... just *legitimately* concerning, on both a primal and a cosmic level.
We’ve gotten so comfortable in our position of advancement that other animals are striving to reach our level.
Honestly I find it hopeful. If humans somehow off themselves, there will eventually be another species to take our place and wonder about all the weird shit we built.
@@DavidRokon
Thing is, what can they do with our collapsed societies?
The internet is useless.
The electricity grid is useless.
Vehicles are useless.
I mean, unless there is a human to operate it, some of our infrastructure is useless is a world devoid of humans.
It can become overgrown, with vines, and shrubbery and other plants. But the actual usage of our tech is what im curious about.
Roads and bridges do need some maintenance. While potholes wont form from heavy vehicles, weathering will occur. The snow and melt cycle will have water seep into cracks and expand and form larger and larger cracks until a structure breaks down.
In the south, certain water ways NEED human operators for managing the spillway gates. And sadly it'll be another 100 or more years until the Mississippi river is back on its course to even deposit its sediment back where the coast is recending. Im not too sure how the Colorado river structure would do.
But all in all. Id love to read a dystopia book of how the next species would take over. And hopefully they wont have as strong a desire like humans to subjugate every piece of habitable land. Which is part of the reason why humans have deforestation, slavery, wars, over use of resources, and unsustainable disposal methods for resources to the point of plastic is destroying our oceans.
I mean, just imagine an OPEN SOURCE book. Where everyone could write about a region and how it would be without humans.
And maybe just maybe in 20 or 40 thousands years, there might be a species who could repeat the errors of humans or maybe not. Since there may be more than one highly advanced species co-evolving as alpha.
Im putting my bets on racoons, rats, mice, corvids, orca, and dolphin.
I wish roaches could be higher up due to thier resilience but thats only breeding, swarming, and radiation tolerance thats not intelligence.
Who knows, primates can and do learn sign language. And bird can SPEAK human not just spout off sounds. Maybe they corvids or apes can learn to read.
And as much as I prefer english, there might be other simpler languages out there. Spanish does have great phonics.
But the abstract nature of gender nouns might be a bit too much.
Im sorry for being so wordy, but I'd love a fantasy world book series of life after humans. And it would be amazing if we could prepare animals to run this planet better than us homo sapiens, once we inevitably kill ourselves off.
And you know whose fault it is if the Crows turn against us? Christians. Almost every other religion respects crows, only Christians disrespect the messengers of Odin.
What's conserning is humans believing that our behaviour is unique in every single way and any animal doing something that looks like "human behaviour" is absolutely amazing. Get over yourself.
RIP to father coyote who endured such a horrific untimely death 😢

Once while I was out hunting, I was using a buck call. To my shock, I heard one answer, and it was damn close. I start looking around with my bow up, but couldn't see anything. I heard it again, but it came from above me. Confused, I look up, and I see a raven flying above the trees, using my buck call back at me. Well played, you magnificent bastard.

@@fiberpoet6250 bruh that's gotta be intentional
"Ha! Made you look, dumbass!"
What a jerk lmao
Ravens indeed do a little trolling
The last story makes Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" actually realistically feasible. Say a raven figured out that it could catch a huge meal by driving people to suicide, by saying the word "Nevermore!" over and over, which it learned from someone who it watched commit suicide.
Thankfully, the raven we saw in the video says "Are you alright?" instead, which is rather heartwarming twist on the saying "Reality is stranger than fiction."
I was waiting for that reference and you did not disappoint, my friend. 😏
That would make a great heartwarming parody actually
I think the Raven was just punking a gullible rich guy for a warm place on his bust of Pallas.
Come on, who keeps asking questions when you get the same answer every time?
There's a talking raven video out there where the raven says "say nevermore", presumably because his keeper was trying to teach him to say it. Felt like the raven was playfully taking the piss. XD
Guy with a pet raven trolling people.
“This is Thor. I like Thor.” Has to be the most simple and wholesome thing he’s ever said

@@Pherioxus Bruh, you okay?
I like Thor too :)
I like how only a few wolves were black at first and then Casanova got busy and now most of the pack has pigmented fur. Even without any explanation, you can still piece together what happened 🐺
Have you ever seen a furless dog or cat lol
@@wutm8 Irrelevancy
It should be noted that Wolf 21 (the breeding male of the Druids when Casanova first came along, and incidentally Casanova’s maternal biological uncle and paternal adopted cousin) was also a black wolf when he was younger (his fur greyed with age) so his genes were also at work there.
21 didn’t get along with Casanova-in fact he absolutely hated him. 21 famously never killed any wolves from rival packs but I think he might have made an exception for Casanova. Of course Casanova made sure he never got caught in the act.
Where are you getting this information??? I NEED to know MORE!!!
@@ZeeWee910
There’s been a LOT of documentation of individual Yellowstone wolves (both by the park officials and by notable visitors), some of the better-known wolves have had their entire lives documented this way.
I just find it adorable that a wolf and a raven can be best mates for life and not just a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" arrangement.
Wolfs & Ravens working together HAS to be the reason why they've been associated with Odin. 🐺
A wolf was going to kill Odin though. Not really working together.
Hugin munnin and fenrir team up!!
@@ernimuja6991 Odin had two wolves, Geri and Freki. Along with the ravens, Hugin and Munin.
Odin had a group of men wolves who protected and did his bidding, while the raven gave him sight.
@@RGA301092 So he's kind of 50/50 when it comes to wolves?
The existence of coywolves take the whole enemies to lovers trope to a whole other level.
Come morning, the wolf swore off fermented berries, and the coyote did the walk of shame.
Out on the farms and ranches they are very dangerous. My grandmother remembers several times when there were coyote hybrids-coywolves or coyotes with a ranchers dog would pop up here and there. They were ways feral and aggressive, with the smarts of a coyote and pack instinct from the other dog.
They would pick up runaways, strays and braver coyote into highly destructive packs that barely feared even God himself. Her father would pack up, join the other farmers and sped the next week hunting and shooting. They didn't fear large groups of humans or noise. You expected one cow eaten and many others simply shredded for fun
@@dflaming1371 Lmao and then people say it's the wolves doing this stuff
Coywolves are just wolves with coyote mentality so blame this stuff on the coyotes
@@kathrynryanclancy8437 wolves do to, but they are scared of a gunshot and 1000 times easier to catch, plus a part of the ecosystem and not just a pack of serial killers with nothing to do but rip anything with a pulse apart. So many dogs are 1 leader away from being worse than their ancestors

I love how that third wolf pack seemingly didn’t even want the territory. They just showed up and chose violence.
The crow really said "yaaaaay" when she gave it the treat
I would too, tbh. Food is good.
@@SugarandSarcasm I agree
Out of all the wolf stories, Casanova has to be my favorite story. Not only is he my favorite animal, but he did something that no one ever really sees in wolves. Sometimes when he got caught by the Druid leader he'd run to the park road...and literally no animal except him set paw on that road. He went down in history to being the only male wolf who fathered the most pups...and almost all of them were in secret. In the end he did become the leader of a pack called Blacktail Deer Plateau and ruled it until he was almost 10 years old. Before his tragic death, he witnessed the brith of one final litter he ever fathered as an Alpha male. Plus, Casanova was the only wolf who didn't resort to violence...he used his cunning and charm to weave his way to the top. Long live Casanova, Aka...Yellowstone Wolf 302. Or as the Nat Geo Wild documentary calls him: Black Wolf.
Most wolves do cross the road a lot, but 302 was the only one to actually use it. He also used it as a path when he would travel between his birth pack and the Druid pack. To other animals it was an inconvenience, to him it was a tool, to bison it was just some average ground but that's not important lol. He also sometimes ran into herds of bison, and he used the passiveness of the dominant male of the Druid pack (21) to get away, since 21 would usually just tackle him and if 302 submitted, he would let him go.
Most wolves arnt sociopaths
So as long as the random wolf running through turf, gives respect and leaves the hunt alone, They wont kill
The fact Casanova could get caught mating and not end up dead, that was 21 being merciful 😂 there must have been a surplus of food or 21 would have had him hunted the next time he showed up, like a redneck shotgun wedding 😂😂
You had me until you said alpha male. They don’t HAVE alpha males. Like godamn people this is not a hard concept. ALPHA MALE = not real
Nat geo did him dirty 💀
Like no name just black wolf 😂
@@donovanulrich348 Wolves do sometimes kill wolves that they think are trespassing and therefore a threat, Casanova would always submit and show he's not a threat and 21 never really killed any wolves or anything so he always spared Casanova
I feel like a raven saw a human taming a wolf and the raven said "hold my deer.", and the rest was history
Yeah Ravens are hella smart. I can see that being the reason.
humans didn't exactly go around taming wolves, they domesticated a pack of hyper sociable wolves and unknowingly selectively bred for sociability
I don't think so because the Ravens who train wolves would be in the forest and I don't think Ravens saw humans trainimg wolves in the forest. I think it was just a trial and error thing for them.
@@yeemawheaver1387 ravens dont "train" wolves, its a symbiotic relationship where both parties stand to gain. symbiotic relationships are not uncommon and ravens are simply intelligent enough to come to an agreement. also, wolves are not limited to the forest and neither are ravens.
'Hold my deer!' actually cracked me up! 🤣
Thank you for showing the truth about wolf attack and kills on humans. The official organizations that protect them always say how low deaths and attacks are and how even if they happen, most are just result of rabid wolves.
But you get a lot of "statistics" out there that put wolves as killers
I'm not well informed on the topic, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but is it possible that wolves' reputation stems from our past? I would imagine that in medieval (and earlier times), wolves and humans would have clashed much more. For one, because I would think that there was more contact due to hunting and habitat overlap, and also because a wolf is presumably much more interested in a farmer's sheep herd than a modern brick house with no livestock, leading to more conflict between humans and wolves.
@@pixelmaster98 there were lots of wolf related deaths in Europe just not many in the United States.
Make sure you don’t get spotted alone at night by a pack of wolves lmfao
@@darkfire38th17 isnt it more so just pissed off farmers in europe? All ive heard is they eat sheep and get shot by the farmer no human deaths
@@pixelmaster98
Part of it is also that wolves got put under a BRUTAL selective pressure to not mess with humans directly if they could help it. I can’t say why this has more effect on wolves than other apex predators (which still tend to be more wary around humans), but I would guess that being a more social animal might have some connection
I fed a crow at my local grocers one day. He came hopping over, feathers a mess and looking grungy. Other crows, ravens and magpies saw the food and came to beg, so I gave them some, too, but if they tried to bully the first crow, I'd jump forward or stomp my foot at them. It didn't take them long to understand I was protecting the scruffy one lol. Now I can't go shopping there without birds following me, begging for food lmao. And I don't see that one crow getting picked on anymore. I think I made my point to them. XD
The pack rivalry becomes even more Shakespearean when you realize that wolf packs are family units, with the "alphas" being parents and/or grandparents of the rest of the pack, and the occasional Casanova "marrying into the family."
Ohh god
It's all Montegues and Capulates up in here.
Our boy literally said alphas don't exist- ✋💀
@@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic Hence the quotation marks, it’s easier to say “alpha” in a clearly corrective way than to say “the pack leader people incorrectly describe as an alpha”, and it sounds a lot less wordy, while keeping it clear enough that anyone with an IQ that doesn’t start with a decimal point can understand it quickly.

I actually have crow friends. There is this flock of crows that live at our local dam, well I found one with a chip in her beak trapped in a old fishing net, so I cut her free and she flew off, so I thought nothing of it. Well I sat by the water to have my lunch and who comes to visit but the chipped beaked beauty herself, she sat next to me and just chilled out for a bit, I even shared my sushi with her. Well I had to go home but I came back about a week later with some friends, and the crow came up to me doing this little hop dance, so I gave her a pat and started having a conversation with her, she flew off and later brought all her friends, so here I am sitting in the grass just patting and playing with like 12 crows like they're a bunch of kittens. Well after this goes on for many weeks I started naming them all based on their personalities and they are as follows; Queen Elinor (the og girl), Hamilton, Rodhog (He is huge), Batsy (they love to hang upside down), Count (he's white, but not albino), Flint and Mia (those two are never seen far from each other), MM (Michael Myers, because he likes to shank me with sticks if I don't give em attention), Hobby (only has one leg), Siren (loves to listen to me singing), Serena, and Rowena Murkrow (a double pun on Rowena Ravenclaw and the Pokémon Murkrow). I love them all.
P.s I moved out of town for 7 months and when I returned home I decided to see if my friends were ok, so I went there and called for Elinor but she didn't come, I thought she wasn't around anymore and I got sad, but then I felt something land on my shoulder and it was my sweetheart Elinor, I gave her a kiss to say hi and she pecked my cheek as if kissing me back, there is also new flock members so I'm trying to make friends with them and soon I'll have more friends with new names😃
Edit: Sadly this update hurts to make, but Elinor and many of her kin are no longer alive. Feral and/or domestic cats got to a good portion of their flock about a month ago. I don't take death very well, and especially when it comes to animals that I've bonded with, but I don't wish harm upon the cats for doing nothing more than being themselves. I'm sorry for the heavy news I brought, but I wanted to let you all know.
That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard🥰
honestly living the dream ❤️✨
I envy you. My dad raised me to respect crows and never try to hurt them. He never explained why but as I got older I learned they were essentially Einstein birds 😂. Ravens too!
@@zackfowler8613 Your dad sounds amazing, my granny taught me "respect any animal as you would a person, they aren't necessarily trying to hurt you, rather they are just living their life, and if they genuinely mean you harm you still respect their power to do so."
As for you envying me, please don't. This story doesn't have a happy update I fear, lovely Elinor unfortunately passed away about a month back, as have many of her flock. Sadly I got attached and because of how I am with death it hits extremely hard. I don't wish any harm on them but feral cats are a blight upon native animals, and it pains me to see the devastation left behind by the people who let cats roam in places they can cause harm. I'm sorry if this has been a bad news.
I'm sorry for your loss, I tend to be the same way with those I've truly bonded with. There is a bright side, Elinor and her flock don't have to deal with irresponsible humans and never have to go hungry or hurt ever again. And now, every time you see a crow, you can smile and remember them fondly.
Fun story, we have a group of Ravens in our neighborhood, they mostly vibe chill and eat snacks left out. One day an eagle pulled up and was bothering my chickens by sitting on a telephone pole by our house. The ravens woke up when they heard my birds yell a warning, they went to check it out and straight up went to attacking the intruder. Now, normally they would have been happy to just chase the bird off but he made the fatal choice of ducking into their nesting tree and it was game over from there. I never liked them much till that day, as they like to convince my birds to do stupid things by mimicking certain cries but I have to say, after watching that, which took less than five minutes, I have respect for them now.
Feed those ravens. Make them your friends, because I'm willing to bet they remember that eagle, and they'll remember your generosity.
Another thing about crows!! They've been known to help out their fellow crows like feeding them if they have a broken break. That's huge, because it's one of the early signs of civilization
Oh no the crow people
I hope they do form one before we do what we do best
Kenku gang rise up! 😂
I wonder if crows could take up agriculture - either as a trained or as an accidentally discovered behavior? Like, starting with taking a few seeds/grains from a more-desirable food plant and planting them in a better location. Then, progressing to picking weeds and eating pests that attack their "crop" to improve their harvest. Crows are probably physically capable of (and possibly even well-suited for) these tasks - but could they be motivated to do them in the first place?
@@HaloInverse probably,, as long as they know that growing things gets them more food and such

Yeah, corvids are smart. When my grandma was a teenager, she and her brother found an injured young magpie. They took her home and helped her to get better. After the bird was healed, they released it back, but the magpie decided that free food and shelter from the elements were too good to pass up, so she stayed with them, even tough she cloud fly away any time she wanted.
But anyway, my grandmas brother taught her to talk. But, being a teenager, the words he taught here weren´t exactly... proper. My grandma said it was kinda funny, when their mum (my great-grandma) came into room where the magpie was and was greeted by enthusiastic "wh-re! wh-re!"
Oh, and the magpie also had the habbit of stealing their fathers cigarettes, since they had shiny packaging. The father at first suspected my great-uncle (grandmas brother), but they soon find out the magpies stash of ciggs behind the chimney.

We had an old wolf named Thor. He was battle hardened, and missing most of an ear. He was a good boy, very sweet.
The Raven Kingmaker. That is a dark fantasy YA title if ever there was one. Calling it now.
Casanova was beautiful, the fact that he was able to join the pack and introduce new genes is a great example of nature taking care of itself.
Bicon tbh
Racists hate him.
Seeing as wolf packs are a breeding couple with their kids and grandkids, outsiders joining the pack has to be a frequent event to avoid genetic issues
✨Casanova the King👑
It took him years to gain acceptance with the alpha pair, it was only at the end of their lives that they let him get anywhere near their daughters, simply because they were old and stopped caring as much cause they just didn't have the energy and drive to stop it anymore. That's some serious determination on his part!!! He would spend an entire day just far enough away to observe and plot his moments. Very cool wolf!!!
As someone with a raven that has a good relationship with them, while yes they can hold grudges if you slight them, they also remember any good will directed towards them. I've had a constant nest of several generations of ravens on his roof, they now occasionally drop shiny objects like loose change on my porch and even sometimes sqwawk when someone unfamiliar like a new mail person who just got hired approaches the house all because I sometimes leave fish scraps on my porch for them.
When the corvids retake the Earth, you will be spared. How nice.
same with magpies. gain their trust and not only will they not mess with you. you can find the shinies that they keep in their nests (rings, coins, small watches etc)
At first I misread that as you leaving fish scraps for the mail carriers 🤣
Now watch when someone goes to hurt you only to look up and see a massive group of ravens land above them looking at them menacingly 😂
Oh not again! The mail carriers eat the fish scraps i've been saving for my crows!
For some reason when he said Casanova rebuilt the pack with the daughters and took back the valley, my mind immediately jumped to him having warrior daughters. Like Valkyries clearing a way for Odin.

You could seriously do an entire series about the Yellowstone wolves, it’s like a soap opera. My favorite of them was always about one of the first wolves re-introduced into Yellowstone, Wolf 8. He was a pup at the time of the reintroduction and the runt of the litter, constantly being bullied by his older siblings. As he grew older he would wander further and further from the den to avoid the bullying, and during one of the trips he came across a litter of eight wolf pups. The wolf pups were alone in their den because the mom wolf, Wolf 9, had to go out and hunt. Her mate, Wolf 10, was illegally shot and killed, so she was a single mom. Unlike lions, wolves are willing to adopt pups that are not their own, so after awhile with Wolf 8 coming in and out of the den to essentially play with and take care of the pups, Wolf 9 eventually accepted him and they became a pair. Wolf 8, once the runt of litter, became the pack leader with Wolf 9. Wolf 8 was a really good wolf dad and although would get into fights to protect the pack, would never kill his opponent and would instead let them go to run away. He was essentially an underdog that rose from the bottom to the top and lived a good life. In fact, one of the pups that Wolf 8 raised was Wolf 21, who would lead the Druid pack at one point during when the infamously aggressive Wolf 40 was also part of the pack.
Edit: Thanks Wergonstum for the correction! I first heard this story from the podcast THIS IS LOVE E19: The Wolves, so check it out if you’re interested!
Bro I swear Yellowstone wolves could have a whole cinematic universe.
A correction to the story. Wolf 9F wasn't gone from the den because she was out hunting all the time. She was transported to a holding pen along with her newborn pups after 10M was killed, because she and the pups were important for their wolf restoration program. They were held in the Rose Creek acclimation pen for several months to give the pups time to mature until they could fend for themselves. One day a severe storm had rolled in and caused a tree to fall on a section of the fence which led to all 8 pups escaping from the enclosure. They were able to capture all but 2 of the pups. One day, the 2 pups came to the fence followed by 8M, who was still a yearling at the time. He was observed playing and caring for the 2 pups outside the pen, and upon 9F's release become the adoptive father for all the pups when he and 9F paired up to start a pack.

IM SO HAPPY YOU SHARED THE CASANOVA STORY!!! It's like a a famous story among wolfquest fans and wolf-lovers ❤️❤️❤️ another good one & my favorite is the Yellowstone She-wolf: who's most famous for her singlehanded takedown of an adult female elk (which is an amazing feat for wolves since it usually takes a pack to bring down an elk)
My favorite wolf story is the story of Lobo the wolf.
i had completely forgotten about wolfquest til now, that gave me flashbacks and my ears are ringing
I'm not sure the Druid pack wants that land, decimated by sickness, new pack moves in, also decimated by sickness, think I'm seeing a pattern.
Having gone to a wolf sanctuary and hearing 40+ wolves all howl at once is quite the event, very loud and a very humbling experience. Before that I had never felt so small and insignificant. It had lasted 5-10 minutes, I lost track of time because I fell into a trance from it. Loved every second of it, truly magnificent creatures
Whenever possible, I use the sound of wolf talk,turned low, to get rid of migraine.
I wonder if anyone’s ever taught a raven to actually say “Nevermore”.
question that must be asked.
Honestly in like half of the bird sanctuary videos I’ve watched someone taught the raven to say nevermore
Welp time to get a pet raven
I wanna a pet Raven to teach it and interpret the poem with me lol
The answer is yes
WAKA WAKA WAKA NEVERMORE
Fun fact about Golar bears: My boyfriend tends to call them cinnamon bears since they kind of look the part. Seeing a picture of them I'd like to propose marshmellow bears as an alternative.
How is that a fact
"Piping coyotes" should not be a phrase... I giggled nonetheless.
One time on my way to work, I found a crow just flopping in the road. I didn’t want it to become dinner for its buddies, so I picked it up and took it to the vet, hoping they could tell me what to do. One of the vets gave it a quick once over, didn’t see any injuries, and gave me the number of a bird sanctuary to see if they would have a better idea of what to do.
I explained what happened, and they said, “Oh, that sounds like a juvenile that doesn’t know how to fly yet. Can you take it back where you found it? Its flock will take care of it.” I was a little alarmed, but they explained that it didn’t have to be on the actual road, because crows were smart enough that if I put it nearby, they’d follow the sound of the juvenile’s cry.
So, I did that. I have a different car now, but even when I had the car that I had used, I drove by that place all the time and no pissed off birds came for me. So, I guess I don’t have a reputation with the local crows for being a baby snatcher.
maybe they knew you just wanted to help
Yeah, you brought it back, and they knew you were trying to help.
I thought that story was going to end with you discovering that bird frequently lets itself be brought to the vet so it can have a nice supper before being taken back home
Well, at least they are smart enough to realize when someone is being nice to them
There was a parrot (George) at our local conservatory that all the little kids in the neighborhood loved going to see. George would say "Ola" and "Hello" to them. Little kids find this endlessly exciting. The conservatory had a renovation, and George had to be taken to some other location. He got really depressed, which the staff hadn't expected. I took my kids to see him when the conservatory renovations were finished. We were the only ones there. After about 15 minutes of "Ola" and "Hello" I took my kids to see the turtles ... hadn't gone five steps when George said, "Please don't leave me." So we were back for another fifteen minutes of "Hello" and "Ola." He seemed satisfied.
Aw
😭
This is both sad and wholemsome😭
It’s giving Paulie 🥹🦜
I don't know what you did, but if that happened to me I'd burst out crying XD
For those wondering about ravens being able to talk, no, you do not have to clip its tongue first. Clipping a ravens or crows tongue in order for it to talk is cruel but just a myth. However, Crows and Ravens do not use there tongue to talk. They use their syrinx. The syrinx is a vocal organ at the base or their trachea. In other words, it’s just a bird voice box.
somebody has GOT to make an animated movie about those wolves. that is AMAZING. hell, maybe even an animated SERIES because that almost sounds like too much drama to be condensed into one movie!
The passing of the wolves and the brutality of the death of the father coyote made this story all the more emotional.
Nature is brutal.. sad to say. But it's survival of the fittest and strongest in the wild.
Yeah, you could totally make an anime or movie out of that entire story.
Ikr. I've heard of Cassanova, Spitfire, Small dot, White lady... Hell, I can go on.
@@Cattrix999 there is no surival of the fittest if you are getting ganged by 5/6 wolves. Even a bear wouldn't survive that
Apparently, the ravens at the Tower of London have been known to troll their keepers by calling out their keeper's names, using the voice of other keepers. As you say, they are far too smart for their own good.

A quick addition, the shot of the cat being menaced by a coyote also has a happy ending: the little guy almost got deleted, but fought it out in that full-on blender mode cats can do, and managed to escape the coyote long enough for something to scare it off.
"full-on blender mode"
I've never heard a cat's fighting style described like that before, but it fits perfectly.
This comment brought be genuine and deep relief. I'm so glad to hear that that kitty was okay.

Even though I knew Corvids were capable of mimicking human speech, I’ve just now realized that The Raven might actually be a real life event turned poem
Bruh, imagine being depressed already and an emo looking bird keeps saying "nevermore" each time you ask a question.
Then again, ravens seem smart enough to know that those words in that context are hurtful and keep going out of sadism
Nevermore
It totally wouldn't surprise me.
According to the story I read, Charles Dickens had a flightless pet raven that he brought with him when he visited Poe, and the thing was huge, had a crappy attitude, and stomped around the house all day scaring the shit out of Poe. This was his inspiration.
Just to add, the raven’s name was Grip, Dickens got him to study the antics of ravens so as to properly develop the obnoxiously chatty raven in Barnaby Rudge ( also named Grip.) The more you read about him, the more hilarious it gets. The funniest bit to me is the bombastic vandal that couldn’t shut up and who’s last words were reportedly “Hi-ho, old girl!”, turned into this motionless doom merchant with a one- word vocabulary in Poe’s poem. ( Poe thought he was “immensely amusing” and thought Barnaby Rudge needed more Grip.)
Grip lives on in taxidermy at one of Dickens’s former crash pads in Philadelphia.
[ETA: Correction- he was removed to the Philadelphia Free Library. I now have travel plans.]

The way he delivers just makes it even more adorable

Casanova actually had a pretty awesome life
As a lone wolf with no pack he tries to join a wolf packs but always gets rejected by the leader
So instead of joining he would go around and mated with young females in the area and even scored with the daughter of the same pack leader that rejected him
He then went and form a massive pack by rounding up lone young males and became it's leader

Years ago there was a crow that would come hang out with me while I was reading sitting on my porch. Actually read The Hobbit to him in it's entirety. I'd give him some left over meat but he'd ignore it until I closed the book and said "another chapter done see you tomorrow." Miss that bird, hope he found some other nice crows to hang out with and had a good life.
That just gives me the image of the crow going home every night to eager bird listeners waiting for him to recount the story so they could find out what happened next each day.
You should've tried reading him a vocabulary.
I for one am utterly delighted by the idea that enjoyment of fantasy might cross species lines.
@@ShootingStarNeo One person I know reads children's books to her flock of parakeets before they go to sleep for the night.
I find that a really cool story. Especially since there was that one raven in the hobbit which was a messenger bird.
Ravens have single handedly created the phenomenon of people hearing, "hello" and "what's up" while alone in the woods 🤣
Go outside and teach one to do that.
While you're not likely to get killed by a coyote, where I live a number of people were attacked and mauled by coyotes, most likely due to people feeding the wild animals. I ran into one of these people, putting out dog food on a trail. People are wild
Did you give him the ass-kicking he deserved
Man, the Druid pack has such a fascinating history. I heard in another video that way back when wolves were first reintroduced into Yellowstone, the Druid Peak pack was ruled by a tyrannical female wolf (40F was her label IIRC) who completely monopolized breeding in the pack by bullying the other females (including her own younger sisters) and killing any pups that weren't her own. Eventually it got to the point that one day the rest of the pack finally decided enough was enough, so three other female wolves (including the previously mentioned sister) ganged up on & killed Wolf 40F with her surviving pups being adopted by the three afterwards.
I knew nature was metal, but I didn't expect it to also be a soap opera.
This seems like one of those overly dramatic Indian television shows
do you remember what the videos called? it sounds interesting and I would like to watch it :)
Straight up formed a coup
@@moltenfreddyandwyvern it was actually mentioned only briefly in an analysis/explanation of Gendy Tartakovsky's _PRIMAL_ season 1, specifically in relation to how the head witch in episode 8 "Coven of the Damned" turned into a giant wolf was quite thematically fitting in relation to how she monopolized a bastardization of motherhood & childbirth (she may have passed out the babies, but she was still in total control of all breeding for her group)
Casanova is written about in Rise of Wolf 8 (a story about his step father) and Reign of Wolf 21. Both written by Rick McIntyre who studied the Yellowstone wolves
I read and loved both of these a while back. Casanova has his own book out now as well (The Redemption of Wolf 302), though I haven't got to it yet.
Was Casanova raised by Wolf 8? Wolf 8 was definitely Wolf 21’s stepfather, but I thought Casanova was part of a different pack and mated with Wolf 21’s daughters
@@dangerousdandelions I don't think so, though I could be mistaken. The way I remember reading it in 21's book, Casanova kinda came out of nowhere and served as a good contrast to 21 because he wasn't alpha material yet. I'll have to refresh my memory!
3:29 I would absolutely go see a movie about this.
Correction* crows can recognize theyre own reflection and some other birds as well, they proved this by putting stickers on them and the crow or bird or dog and other animals, would remove it after noticing something different about themselves.

Yes insects can breathe well

I always got into fights with people when I told them crows and ravens could talk, it's like people just don't read. The reason the Raven is called 'The Raven' is because Poe wanted to use a bird that could talk. He originally considered a parrots but yeah, not exactly as scary

For those wondering, the story of the Druid Pack he goes over and the footage he uses for it come from an old Nature documentary from the early 2000s called In the Valley of the Wolves. It's incredibly good and someone put it up on youtube. GO WATCH IT

As someone who loves wolves and follows closely with the Yellowstone Wolves, he basically recapped the nature doc called "The Valley of the Wolves" and his recap is semi accurate; if you want the full story, you can read the Yellowstone Wolf Reports from I think 2004 to 2009 and the Alpha Wolf books, "The Reign of Wolf 21" and "The Redemption of Wolf 302", cheers for covering wolves and the Druid Peak pack!

Since Cassanova and the females from the Druid pack were present during the initial outbreak of the disease, the likelihood is that they were able to return to the valley because they had a natural immunity to it.
Particularly since they're the *survivors* of the initial outbreak.

I remember the original Druid pack was run by a female wolf that was absolutely badass and never let any of the pack members get out of line even a little. Ruled that pack with an iron paw.
I mean yeah, but it was more like she bullied them into submission... one time she attacked her sister and a younger female in her pack because the younger female greeted her sister first... because she was being overly aggressive. She bullied her mother and her sister out of her pack, not because they tried to defy her but because she managed to get in a higher rank than them and get away with treating them like trash.
There were plenty of badasses in the Druid pack, though; just ask 253, 42 (who stuck it out under 40's rule and ended up killing her own sister in the end), U-Black, 571, the list goes on lol
She wasn't bad ass, she was a psycho, to the point 4 or 5 females ended up attacking her and ending her reign. Like Kathryn said, she would attack for things that didn't even involve defying.
