    Tbf there are other subspecies of wolves than the gray wolf and those are often smaller than huskies.

    Huskies average 60lbs which is a bit more than half my weight. I grew up with huskies so I’m familiar with their size, as medium/medium-large dogs. Based on this pic, I feel like a wolf would be like my size or up to 20% larger than I am.

    Did some searching. According to Wikipedia they aren’t a lot shorter than I am either. 4.5 foot from the ground, to my 5.2 foot. If you go nose to tail they beat me hands-down.

    Body mass ranges from 30-175 lbs, I fall squarely within those numbers at around 115 lbs.

    Therefore, this wolf likely actually is bigger than me in at least two metrics. I’m only taller from the floor if they stay on all fours, and that’s all I have going for me. I also don’t have giant predator teeth.

    I’m really glad we have civilization. I’d for sure be prey.

          Ravens ARE big. About as large as a golden eagle, larger than a falcon or a kite. It’s the crows that are just a bit bigger than pigeons.

          According to Wikipedia, the Common Raven (most common raven across the entire Northen Hemisphere) measures about 25in in length. That’s just over 2ft. So definitely not a small bird.

      You think the forest is your ally? You merely adopted the forest. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see a city until I was already a grown wolf, and by then it was nothing to me but terrifying!

    If wolves are so large, why are most dogs so much smaller and thise that are the same size have short life spans and many health complications?

          Oh. It’s because of selective breeding.
          In general, aggressive selective breeding involves pulling from a smaller gene pool, which results in congenital problems. Wolves breed naturally, so evolution ensures they can survive well.
          It’s basically the same reason we don’t have incest babies. More or less.

      An untrained 10lbs chihuahua is less dangerous than an untrained 120lbs Rottweiler. Some domestic dog breeds are bigger than any wolf, like the mastiff.
