[bird 9,932]

didn't think it was that good , his constant talking all the way through it , got fed up with it, maybe tomorrow will be better , but great wild animals though

I dont like him much, as i find him a bit airy fairy but it was great to see the wolves so close up and itis true, up their they dont fear man, as their not hunted and he got their trust and they never attacked him. Just goes to show, their is a lot of crap talked about wolves being savages ect, far from it..

I liked the 2 eppesodes. Then again, i like the wolf a lot..

Yes, his constant drivel and his attempt to 'own' the wolves, calling them 'my wolves' really annoyed me, as did his comments about 'watching over them' (WTF?) and watching them grow up: he was with them for 3 weeks the first time, and even less time the second visit. Total muppet, but amazing footage, if blighted by his suppositions: the pups were starving etc etc, like he knew everything about them. Sorry, don't mean to sound miserable, but that kind of self-obsessed and uninformed drivel rather ruined it for me.

 

On the plus side, it did show just how wonderfully curious that young wolf was. As an individual he stood out from the rest of the pack in many ways. And even though they are far removed from domestic dogs you can see similarities in behaviour/relationships etc. I'm guessing that they largely subsisted on lemmings and hares with the very occasional musk ox that was weak, old or injured. I found them almost as interesting as the wolves.

I only saw the 1st episode, some good points and some Anthropomorphicc shite, him saying they left the pups in his charge?? There’s a difference between a true naturalist and a TV presenter but I suppose it’s what the general public would like.

At least it seemed pretty genuine, I'm sick of seeing documentaries where scenes have obviously been rigged or stolen from other shows, the BBC are terrible for it.

For years I was led to believe that they are fearful of man and dogs but just like any wild animal they will attack when hungry, I've seen clips of a pack killing a large dog in someone's garden.

Cracking show both of them. It's easy to see how wolves became man's best friend, with how close they were to him and letting him walk alongside them, that must of being a experience of a lifetime

video on YouTube of a single wolf going up to 4 large dogs and dragging one away to eat the other dogs just stood there in fear.

That to me about sums it up...

One thing he did not show was fighting with the rival pack, wolves kills each other often enough over hunting grounds, but as i said, his airy fairy ways stoped him from doing that i think..

I remember gordon doing a survival thing,where he got left alone in the wilds of alaska and filmed him self, he was pefetic...a right softy.lol He was so depressed and upset, he had to come back..

No he didnt show the fight with the rival pack... or taking down a musk ox...neither did he show tranquilising the wolf and putting a great big locator collar round its neck...the whole thing about the documentry was how unique it was that they had never seen humans...never been touched by human hand so to speak....then they do that

Did anyone ever see a film about a bloke who went and lived near wolves in a similar environment. He'd been asked to go and monitor the wolves to see if they were responsible for reindeer deaths? Turned out they were living mostly on lemmings and eating the odd reindeer that died from some liver disease that was affecting the herds. I'm fairly sure the film was based on true research, but there was this mad few moments when the lemmings (I think it was lemmings at any rate) invaded his shack and he was eating them by the dozen.

[Saluki246 1,053]

One thing i would say could of easily happened, if that wolf, scruffy as he called it, decided to grab his foot and take off with it, their would be feck all he could do... ...

They are opertunatists and meat is meat out their...lol...but, as skycat says, he was full with lemmings most likely, so changed his mind...

let gordon come back in the mid winter when they really do get hungry and its pitch black and let him try and get near them then without getting eaten...lol
