The wolf: killer of cattle, wearer of sheep's clothing, eater of grannies and small girls wearing red. With such a bad reputation, it's no wonder wolves are the target of so many people. Even Walt Disney was unable to find a way to make them look good.
Wolves are apex predators and yes they are efficient killers of large mammals, such as deer, elk and moose. But dangerous to humans? No.
This is called cobbing and no, it’s not aggression.
Cobbing is a natural social behavior seen in wolves and wolfdogs. It’s a gentle, repetitive nibbling using the front teeth, often directed at pack mates they trust deeply. Think of it like a mix between grooming and affection.
If Rumer wanted to do harm, there would be zero confusion about it. This right here is her showing me softness, connection, and trust.
Moments like this only happen with animals who feel safe and secure in their environment and relationships.
It may look wild… but it’s actually love. ❤️
