pretty much true, only thing tougher than a wolverine is a honey badger, those fuckers are bullet proff. You realize this animal isn't meant to be a pet when you see him playing and does injure the guide. gotta be tough and love the animal to not retaliate and/or keep working on that.

Like a puppy

I worked out in the rural area that had a pair of wolverines and they were nasty piece of work that you learned to stay away from.

Whatever it has to do to get attention.

Honestly it reminded me of my german shepard when he was a playful puppy.

OWWWWW

His leg skin must be like leather by now.

The wolverine liked the guide so much it wanted to take one of his fingers for itself.

He's not really hurt it just let's the animal know to stop

Yeah I've heard they have a really strong bite - can scare grizzlies from a kill.

Yup, same experience here. They seem to connect at a different level than "normal" people but I'd much rather hang out with him and his critters.

You know how sociopaths usually don't care about hurting animals? Maybe the opposite is true as well

Its kinda ironic being labeled wacky, considering how outright mad things have gone in the "Ordinary" world. If anything, being called wacky by the same people embracing the societal madness likely means you're doing something right with your life.

@@MoultrieGeek He is pretty normal though, he just has a different life experience. You guys are acting like it's a crime to be normal Please don't be one of those people that blames society for not fitting in, i hate seeing people doing the stupidest thing imaginable and calling it "empowerment" as much as anyone else but that shit is on us.

Yea they said the same thing about Steve Irwin and look what happened to him

Animals are not stupid. Mr. Wolverine knows where the food comes from.

I just saw a video of five different clips of black bears being chased away by house cats. 😁😁😁

@@JPMJPM A black bear is not a grizzly bear.

Rory Gentry Yes, I know. I realize now that I should have begun the sentence with the word, conversely. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Bears run away from ANYTHING.... even lil chihuahua

I never saw the video but I have heard that a Wolverine has killed a polar bear from videos I’ve watched on wolverines. Who knows if it’s true but they are killers. Once it latched on to its throat it didn’t let go til the bear was dead.

I mean, most people would already be on the ground with their throats torn out or worse.

Lol "I'm the only one that's ev...YYEEEEEOOOOOWWWW!!!!"

It's was just playing

He's putting on a show mate, presentation is important to keep the spectators feeling safe when they see something funny like that

It's playing

Communication is important, just like with a cat who plays too rough.

Them animals need it, their skin is thicker than ours, they bite/scratch and make you bleed all on accident if you don't show (or in this case, tell) them it hurts!

I think it’s the opposite. If you scream all the time, they might think that’s just a sound you make, but if you scream occasionally, they realize something is wrong. Just like with every animal (or even amongst humans as well, if a generally calm person gets mad, one might respect that and take it more seriously than a person who is constantly “screaming”).

@@whengrapespop5728 you think, that thought isn’t the case though. you have to do it with puppies too, and no they don’t think it’s just a sound they realize you are reacting to their bites.

@@notchs0son Well, some people like a bit of bite in their dog or cat, so we don't scream all the time, just when they go too far.

Lol!

He's funny too. An entertainer!

You can tell he relates better to animals than people. Animals let him be who he is.

Michael 😂

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

no it tamed them

Honestly, anything can be tamed if you know the right techniques and nurture it at birth.

Nooo. I think Wolverine tamed that guy. :D

He didn’t. Wild animals aren’t tamed, they are trained.

This is a joke Sorry Animal Expert. Didn’t mean to offend.

"it wanted to hug him" dont know which video you watched, but clearly not this one

@@vipr1142 .

Much respect, Glenn. Those moments in the back country are indelible and magic and soul-affirming. All of life is wild life...some folks have just forgot. Cheers man.

Man where do you live, I would love to have that kind of life, besides the scary parts of course

A dog that bites

@Erin Tyers a Wolverine is actually in the Mustelidae species, which is the same species as weasels and otters.

@Erin Tyers you're quite welcome. :)

@Erin Tyers they sure are. :)

@Erin Tyers me too. :)

With some meth thrown in for variety.

300th like. I agree. XD

more like a badger than bear

Bears won't get into it with a wolverine if they can avoid it.

Cool and respect but what Is the point of all this?

The wolverine is actually part of the weasel family. So just think of that nasty little weasel and how tough they are, then supersize that by a 100.

@@craig7350 Precisely.

I was just about to say!

lol I was looking for this

Yea but what's the actual scientific name of that weasel

Yes!

@@ghostmaster1734 Hard to tell from the video but it looks like it had a black tail tip, meaning it's Mustela erminea, the stoat, which is a bit different than the "proper" weasel Mustela nivalis

lol

Retire to? A lot of these guys work their whole lives to get into these positions

Then i want to retire now lol

Teaches pple about them? Well. We should not cuddle wild animal. I wish we all could respect their nature as well. A wolf, for example, can rearly be trusted. Pple who have hand fed wolf from puppy to grown have been killed when messed up. It is very important to respect animals wild side/instinct. And that those animal not are for human's entertainment. Anyway, i get that a lot of pple love working like this. It can barely feels like a job, i guess. I would have loved to work with rescue animals. The one who can't live in nature anymore. And of course, pet's who need help. It has to be awarding .

Tone Gand bro, why’d you spell people as plle and pple? And rearly, what is that? And why did you say “Told respect to nature”? You can’t say to nature “Hey bud, you need to drop your branches” like houdini dropped birds out of his hat

@@delliriant I spell'ed it horrible. That is why. And, i still have a lot to learn. A lot of the people at youtube, are from other parts of the world, you know... I got to learn english at the early years of school, but i have forgotten some of it... I have tryed to edit my spelling. Hi from Norway 🇧🇻

That's cute. I had a feeling it was just being friendly cause it it WANTED to hurt him, we'd notice. XD

Ruth Richardson ikr!

IKR

That was not Minerva, was it?

have you ever been play bitten by a cat? even that can hurt a lot, so a play bite from a wolverine must be so much worse

I don't think he's so much yelling out in pain, but trying to communicate to the wolverine he doesn't like being bitten. Sounds like he's trying to sound like he's a wolverine himself.

+Jefari H.-Probably a bit of both. When my cat bites me, enough when it is just in play, it hurts so bad, like a tiny little trap digging into my hands, :*), and wolverines are much bigger than cats and have bigger jaws. Even though this wolverine fella is clearly playing with his handler and most of them are just "love bites," it still hurts but the handler is also making his cries resemble a wolverine's to signal to the fella to stop. It's clear the wolverine is just playing around and doesn't mean any real harm, if he did, it would be a lot more clear and the wolverine would be highly more aggressive. It seems to be pretty comfortable with being around so many humans as well to where if it was scared of anyone, it would've made that very clear from the beginning. It was just far more interested in having some playtime :D.

Justin Germeroth He's communicating with it. Go watch coyote Peterson's video with it. He explains to him and the viewers that's how he communicates because that's how the wolverine talks.

Justin Germeroth wolverines are rude, dude.

Jason 56 this is the only man in the world to interact with a wolverine without dying!

wow. hope he stays safe

There's docu on this guy that's pretty cool - they go to his house and hang out with wolverines. I remembered because Jasper is one of their names.

It's on their website(duh) I saw it on TV though

you should watch the wolverine episode by Brave Wilderness, they visit this exact place and its more in-depth about it, really cool

Steve Stiffler They woyld probably get Edward sissorhanded by every one of the animals in his care not just the wolverines.

That wolverine would turn a person into bloody mushy bits of organs.

Or they could shoot or stab it?

@@shak9558 You seem fun at parties lmao

@@dinob8736 Lol any well prepared person would kick that Wolverine and send him flying... It just takes some mental and physical preparation

Lol

Sometimes it's good to pay attention to animal nature programs.

not tamed, trained the premise is same with house cats lol

@@adains8819 You're mixing tamed with domesticated

Same dude, petting those creatures has to be a rush every fucking time man

Well, if I see one, we shall make a protection pact. He keeps my house safe, I keep him safe.

When I was backpacking/hiking the Northern Cascades it was pretty cool when we got on the PCT for a bit, gonna have to add Round Lake to my places to visit. The Washington/Pacific Northwest will always be home 🌲

@@KimKardashiUn889 It's a _gorgeous_ lake, I guarantee you will love it. There is a trailhead to PCT accessible from the Mountain Loop Highway between Darrington and Granite Falls, it's about a 6 mile hike up from there, and Round Lake is on the way to the actual PCT. And be aware, the trail leading down from the top of the crest into the crater is fairly treacherous, you'll want boots with excellent traction, some strap on cleats would be ideal and a good walking stick, and maybe bring a lightweight folding trench shovel in case you need to fix any bad spots. I haven't been up there in a while (a decade actually) but the last time I went the trail was about a foot wide on a 40-something degree slope of clay, it was both narrow, steep and slippery, and a fall will without exception be fatal, it goes about 300 feet down at the 40-ish degree slope then steepens even further into a cliff with large boulders at the bottom. Maybe the forest service has cut it again recently but I wouldn't count on it. Totally worth it though, the water in that lake is as clear as diamonds, and the night sky view on a clear night is amazing, the crater blocks out a lot of the glare from city lights so you can really see the milky way. And who knows, maybe you'll see my wolverine friends or their offspring lol.

@@KimKardashiUn889 WA State (and Pac NW in general) backwoods, the deep, dark green areas, and mountain-folk for the win(s). ;) Cheers.

Kendall Nissley You try being quiet with a wolverine's claws stuck in your ass! 🤣

It's how they teach the animals not to bite.

Alex Daniels True. Thats how i teach dogs not to bite when theyre playing. Works every time.

Oh man... I can't stop cracking up 😅

He isn't being serious. He's doing it for the wolverine's benefit. People do that with their dogs (and even babies too sometimes) where they act like they're getting hurt while playing. It was pretty funny, but it isn't real lol.

Adult lions act as if they're injured when their cubs play-fight with them because it boosts their instinctual confidence in their ability to protect themselves and their pride. It's much the same with other mammal species in most cases.

I dunno man, those scratches on his forearm look pretty painful, and with fangs like those I'm pretty sure even a playful bite would elicit an "OW!" from the best of us. Sure it's nothing to really freak out about, but I wouldn't doubt that yell has some genuine pain behind it.

Dogs, cats, ferrets, and every other carnivore in the world knows very well how hard to bite so as not to draw blood. They're not psychopaths: they're not deliberately going to hurt the creature (human) that provides their food, are they? They're not stupid. Give them a bit of credit, will you?

Phill Huddleston indeed 💗

Phill Huddleston There are city kids who don't even know how a living cow or chicken looks like, so yeah, this is neat. I like those wildlife parks, in my region is a big one dedicated to wolves. The guy in charge is part of the pack, it's amazing how the wolves interact with him. Edit: found the site www.wolfspark-wernerfreund.de/98language/01englisch/index.html

lol Nah​ most will forget

Those kids* Learn English.

ich meiner That seriously depends on what city because you see drawings of cows all over school milk cartons. (Unless that changed within the past 5 years.)

😁

Claws, paws, and jaws. And they are badasses.

TotalMishap - Logan sure does

Modern day beast master ..

They fear no other animal because they're dumb enough to do so. You really think a bear has no chance against this?

TheShermanTanker A bear would rarely choose to even stay 5 feet from a wolverine, and 9/10 times they would run away from the wolverine

Bobcats are pretty built as well. Check out the video where some Russian chick has one in her house as a pet - thick ass legs and _huge_ paws. Could probably go toe to toe with this wolverine.

@Brucie Skyflower man, honey badgers are even bullet prof I've heard, Wolverines could be killed by a bear theres no doubt about it, but not without pulling a fight, so while the bear knows he could kill the wolverine also knows it won't be a walk in the park

@@rsuriyop But what about the Bobcat?

*hand bleeding*

Yea I definitely believe him lmao

Jerod Powell I wonder why that's the reason

Maybe he screams that loud on purpose because it makes it easier for the wolverine to understand that he doesnt like what its doing?

Jerod Powell lmao

🤣😂

I don't get his annoying exaggerated reactions to the critter's affection.

Steve Irwin cough cough

medexamtoolsdotcom Have you taken the test for psychopathy? Your annoyance isn't normal. But I can tell you one reason: it's a small, intimate theatrical performance. Professional storytellers do this, too.

That part cracked me up.

ahahaha ya that was so funny, its like you know hes so pro too. What can you do its a wolverine lmao

.

L'Epouvantail The only smart logical comment...intelligence is becoming very rare now....

There’s another OWWW!,,,

Cole Knowles hey man he had a wolverine claw up his ass

The reason he yells like that is to let the animal know it hurts so it won't bite any harder. If it wanted to, the wolverine could tear him up very quickly

joelendurance really?

Xx_Bolbi_xX yeah man wolverines are known for taking on bears. So what's ripping apart one man to fighting off a full grown grizzly? That's nothing but a cakewalk to a wolverine. It's one of the reasons seeing someone actually handle a wolverine like this is so rare. The most obvious being they're hard to find. They're real aggressive, and territorial. Meaning they attack most creatures on sight. If you're lucky it might growl or hiss at you. Thus letting you know that you have fucked up, before ripping into your leg. Truly the Wolverine whisperer truly has a gift. Which is not being mauled by his wolverines or any of his other carnivores animals.

That's to teach wolverine to control it's bite force, that works well for social animals, but wolverine, they're solitary animal and they crack bones, so.....good luck.

yeah its all hype in there lol

I don't think it's very painful, he's just trying to train the animal not to nip at him and that's how he's doing it.

@@kentwithers5751 you're lucky.

I'm like, "Wait, whaaaaat?" when I saw your comment. You're very lucky and it would be cool if I at least petted it. That wolverine can still be a bit aggressive even when trying to be cute and cuddly, but I can't lie that I would hug it back if I'm careful enough by any chance.

Do you still have both hands?

Dale Spector one docile animal proves nothing....

I thought that was given to the Tasmanian Devil. lol

he had been around that particular wolverine for most of its life, of course it was gonna act more docile towards him (at least as docile a big beastie with huge teeth can get)

now he just has to tame a xenomorph then he'll prove himself worthy of a lvl99 animal caretaker

One nice wolverine to one guy means nothing

Summed up perfectly XD
