Wild animals

Sounds like a great expeirence to me if you kept on they might have adopted you. I used to love to lie in bed whenI lived in Idaho and listen to the coyotes howl at night. They say there are some around here but I havent seen them the town is getting to big and moving all wild life out. I saw a road runner the other day and I thought poor thing having now to live where he can find an open field with houses all around

You were very lucky. Since they were wild, and had become accustomed to people, they probably thought that you might have had a treat for them. But in most cases involving this type of situation, wild is wild. You can never take the instinct out of the animals. But if I had been in your shoes, and at the same age, I probably would have done the same thing as you. Years ago, when my parents first brought me to visit my grandparents in East Germany, my uncle had a large german shepard in a fenced in area. i was told by my parents, grandparents, and uncle, that I was not to go and play with Rex (the german shepard). Well, I didn't listen, just like most little kids. I went to the fence, and put my hand through, and guess what had happened. You're right, Rex and I became friends, to the amazement of everyone else. He had a serious bark, but he had definitely licked my hand like there was no tomorrow. It turned out, that all he wanted was a friend, me.

Interesting story. I can't remember being close to any wild animal, except for my cousin's black monkey named "Blondie" She would play on the swing set with my cousin's kids and playfully take their food right out of their hands. I think finally she got too big and agressive and they had to give her away.

This must have been an unique experience for you. It only shows that correct communication between human and animal is the key. You can prevent any attack. To me the most important part of the human and animal interaction is the language of eye you can speak and communicate successfully to animals. They read through our eyes (how much dumb we may think they are). I have been witness to many such incidents where a person was within a sriking distance to a King Cobra and still managed to walk off untouched. The key in that case was both were rock-still for about 4-5 minutes. When the reptile understood the man poses no danger to it, it went off. So in your case you could have been attacked, though they were domesticated, but don't forget you was a stranger. I feel it must be your eye which speak friendly language and your fingers which did the same. Good experience. I would also like to let know my displeasure about those who go into hunting wild animals. We need to protect our nature.

actually between luck and too bad its what i feel reading ur post.i like wolf and i think not all wolf are danger.from what you tell tha wolf is not so danger also becoz if they are then you wont be able to touch it.but more then 1 wolf its quite scary thoug...as u said the others is approaching and walk with you so i think they all not as wild as they should be.its sometimes really hard to tell between dog and wolf.its a very wonderful experiance you have there, its shows u have a strong bind with animal even with wild animal such wolf

all the wild animals are not that much harmful always

I would say The Lord had his angles surrounding you. this often happens and we are not aware of them. They are often there to protecting and guiding and we are not listening. God really loves you

I've heard of children actually being raised by wolves, but I think they were more likely acting like was respondant #1 said. We have coyotes in our area that are accustomed to people and will come right up to you thinking you have food for them. The problem is that if you don't have food, they begin to get agressive after realizing it.

How old were you at the time? I think I might not have let you out of my sight if you were prone to play with wild animals.Did you have any other fun experiences like that? When I was in middle school, actually, Junior High, I always liked the stray cats, and would bring food from home for them. My fellow band members always said that "Even if it was a lion, she would try to feed it." Animal lovers, unite! I hope we hear some other "wild animal stories" in your responses.

WOW great story , and none of those wolves didn't bite you ? I think they were little , because big ones would do that thing . :) . But wow i realy liked your story .

pretty good experience indeed my friend

NIce story, you where very luky that they didn't do anything to you and that you remaind calmd because you "said" that they where dog's. Next time you will know a wolf from a dog and be more carefful with what you are playing. The thing that saved you was that the wolves where used to humans do you agree with me?

That's a great story. Wolves are highly inteligent animals and would probably never attack a human unless they were starving because I believe they are afraid of humans. I'm sure they prefer smaller and more easier prey. You are just lucky that they more than likely already had their breakfast that day. lol

you were really lucky there were domesticated

Lucky you can see the wolf directly and it didn't harm you..

In my country are more dtrange to see wild animal, but there are, in moyntaim... I love ever animal, I think that are afraid of a man....dont touch, dont run away, stop and wait that go on....and hope in a good luky....

Hi there...The world's fastest land mammal, the cheetah, is the most unique and specialized member of the cat family and can reach speeds of 70 mph. Unlike other cats, the cheetah has a leaner body, longer legs, and has been referred to as the "greyhound" of the cats. It is not an aggressive animal, using flight versus fight. With its weak jaws and small teeth--the price it paid for speed, it cannot fight larger predators to protect its kills or young. The cheetah distinguishing marks are the long teardrop-shaped lines on each side of the nose from the corner of its eyes to its mouth. The cheetah's coat is tan, or buff colored, with black spots measuring from 78 to 1.85 inches across. There are no spots on its white belly, and the tail has spots that merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The tail usually ends in a bushy white tuft. Male cheetahs are slightly larger than females and have a slightly bigger head, but it is difficult to tell males and females apart by appearance alone. The cheetah is aerodynamically built for speed and can accelerate from zero to 40 mph in three strides and to full speed of 70 mph in seconds. As the cheetah runs, only one foot at a time touches the ground. There are two points, in its 20 to 25 foot stride when no feet touch the ground, as they are fully extended and then totally doubled up. Nearing full speed, the cheetah is running at about 3 strides per second. The cheetah's respiratory rate climbs from 60 to 150 breaths per minute during a high-speed chase and can run only 400 to 600 yards before it is exhausted; at this time it is extremely vulnerable to other predators, which may not only steal its prey, but attack it as well.
