People do not approach these predators, even if they encounter a lone wolf. And a wolf pack is even worse.
Wolves do not like strangers, and few survive after encountering them.
As reported: Fakta.today
They defend their territory. Wolves protect their females and young. It has always been that way.
However, few believe that wolves do not needlessly attack people. They do not have a human bloodlust and do not try to kill for fun. They do not attack senselessly, regardless of what is said about these noble animals.
This happened at the end of the last century.
Scientists who study animal behavior are called ethologists. They know what is genetically conditioned and what can be learned, how instincts work.
Badridze was sure: you can get along with any animal, even with a wolf. Find common ground, and you can fear for your life.
He studied wolf habits for a long time, but he realized that if animals were simply tamed, the experiment would not be honest.
The man went alone into the taiga. He wanted to become part of the wolf pack and prove his theory.
Of course, he understood: if he suddenly appeared in the den, the animals would perceive him as a threat to safety. That means he will die because animals protect their home, young, and females.
The scientist worked on the research for several months.
Experiment
When the man arrived in the taiga, he found a pack of young wolves and studied them from a distance. He walked along wolf paths and memorized their routes. He found out where they went to drink and hunt. And he started to get used to the animals.
He had the same clothes for several days, so the clothes had his smell, and then he cut them into pieces. He spread them in places where wolves move most often, so that the wolves gradually got used to them.
Wolves are not crazy, they are afraid of unknown things. And they were not interested in unfamiliar things. But day after day, nothing dangerous happened, and the wolves returned to their usual routes. From time to time, new pieces of clothing appeared on them, but the wolves did not care.
The scientist realized that it was time for the next step.
Now there were remains of his clothes on the roads with pieces of meat. Predators gradually realized that this smell was associated with gain, with food. The man is ready to bring prey to the pack. They happily rushed to the new scent and examined whether any food was left there?
The next step was an introduction. He came to the pack without a weapon, and there was the leader. He growled, showed his strength - but did not attack.
The scientist looked the wolf in the eye and showed: I am not afraid and I am not threatening.
The wolf growled again and walked away.
The man did not hurry, but now he walked close to the wolf community. And the animals gradually got used to their new neighbor.
He lived with the wolves for two years and went hunting with them. It is true that he did not eat raw meat, colleagues sent him food packages. But he had no contact with people - the scents of other people were useless. He wrote notes that everything was fine with him.
These trips once disappointed him.
He had to take food when a bear suddenly emerged from the bushes.
The man hurried to the nearest tree, but he could not climb, twisted his leg. He had no weapon.
He was already saying goodbye to his life, but suddenly the wolves appeared.
They considered the man one of their own - and began to attack the predator. The bear retreated: there were too many wolves in.
The man couldn't walk on his leg for three days.
And during that time, the wolves brought him food.
This is how the man became a part of the wolf pack and survived. He was with them for two years and was never bitten.
He knew for sure: wolves don't attack just like that. They are social animals, they know how to befriend, bond, and protect their family.
The main thing is to learn their language and become a useful member of the pack.
Humans are the same. Friendship has universal laws.
As we wrote earlier: The man had been collecting pine cones all summer, which infuriated his neighbors: beautiful results and life put everyone in their place
