A singular research
They all try to "prove" that wolves are not dangerous at all and which could be considered the same as tame dog puppies. The latest example comes from Sweden, to be precise from the University of Stockholm. The researchers of the Scandinavian university, in fact, have published in the specialized journal "Ecology and Evolution" a study according to which wolves could become attached to humans without problems. How did such a conclusion come about?
How the wolves reacted
The test covered 10 wolf pups and 12 dog pups, both aged about 10 days and bred to evaluate their behaviors. 23-week-old wolves have been shown to prefer familiar people over strangers, just like with dogs, the signal that would highlight their affection. The researchers also commented on the results achieved.
The comment of the researchers
Here are the words of one of them in this regard, Hansen Wheat"Thanks also to previous studies that have provided important contributions to the question, I think it is now right to support the idea that in wolves there is a direct attachment behavior towards humans ", comments Hansen Wheat," and that variations in this behavior could be you were a potential target for the first selective pressures exerted during dog taming".
