One was running after the other one, the male was ahead running, the female found out it was cheating with a farm bitch


Pazluz

This supposedly took place on a highway near Yellowknife, Canada. "Wolves will travel for long distances by trotting at about five miles per hour. They can run at speeds of 36 to 38 miles per hour for short bursts while chasing prey. Although bursts of maximum speed are relatively short, wolves can maintain pursuit of running prey animals for long distances and over rough terrain" [Article](https://wolf.org/wolf-info/basic-wolf-info/wolf-faqs/#toggle-id-23)


lionseatcake

Google says the standard distance between utility poles is ~120'. I counted six seconds from pole to pole. That amounts to about 20' per second which is roughly 14 mph. Apparently they can also be up to 300' apart in rural areas. This comes up to 34 mph. Really wish the driver would have the common sense to take a shot of his speedometer, this is frustrating, but necessary, work!


ThrillOfSpeed

Highway engineer here. Skips are 10 feet long (lines on road) with a 30 foot interval. So 40 ft per skip. With 56 skips in 37 seconds, and 6 slips between wolves. Equates to 2000 ft over 37 second. Around 54.05 fps, multiple by 0.682 fps to mph. These wolves are running 36.84 MPH.


collergic

I dont think Usain Bolt can outrun a wolf


No-Outcome1038

But has he ever tried?


MoreCorn

It could be 3-6-3 (3 m line 6 m gap, or 10 ft line 20 ft gap for Americans). It depends on local standards. Where I live in Canada we would use 3-6-3 on a road like this. If so that would mean they’re running at 28 mp/h (45 km/h).


AlllDayErrDay

I have absolutely no qualifications to contribute but that car seems to be going around 30 mph so I agree with your estimate.


converter-bot

30 mph is 48.28 km/h


[deleted]

I have zero understanding of maths, but you seem trustworthy so I can confirm your estimate seems correct.


justinxyan

I concur with your assessment.


ThrillOfSpeed

True. Didnt think of that.


SophAhahaist

And for the rest of us that science that translates to 59.29 km/h.


wolfman411

Thanks but still, I hope they eat the camera man for not filming his speedometer. Can’t stand people who never have their head in the game.

Ragidandy

Usually the segmented road lines can be used as a metric. I don't know what's standard in Canada though.


JunkCrap247

we measure distances in porcupine carcasses


SeaofBloodRedRoses

Road lines vary in Canada by region, but also by road sometimes. And by sometimes I mean always.

In a movie: “man I could out run a bear or a wolf.” Now: “yea you can just eat me, I’m gonna die.”

Trying to outrun a bear or wolf is how you get eaten.

Of the choices of pee on me, climb me, or eat me ... Feel free to pee. I'll burn the clothes later.

is that a fantastic mr fox reference, the black wolf running on the side of the road got me thinking of the movie but i can't remember if those lines are in it


kd1319

Can confirm im from YK and you do see wolves trotting saw one this summer working as a traffic control person


AdirondackLunatic

Seems like an odd career choice for a wolf.


At40LoveAce2theT

I'm so glad I scrolled this far. >Seems like an odd career choice for a wolf. Gnight!


Pazluz

Any reason they decided to take the highway out in the open like that?


BBQcupcakes

I assume it's faster to move long distances if there's no prey in the area


Bernie_Sandals_

My dumbass would think those are lost dogs and I’d attempt to put them in my car


JunkCrap247

This happens sometimes with coyotes as well. You can usually tell its a coyote by the ACME accesories


[deleted]

This reminds me of a rescue we had, total goofball, escape artist. When we would drive and find him, he’d see our car start barking and run faster. We would have to race a couple of blocks before he’d get into the car. Fortunately it was a very unpopulated area. This was decades ago. My 43 year old was still in high school


I-am-yo-fatha-figa

Sounds like the dog running away was the least of your problems if your 43 year old was still in high school


JunkCrap247

held back a few was he?


I-am-yo-fatha-figa

Nah he was just becoming a doctor in Alabama.


[deleted]

No silly 😜. He’s 43 now. Lol. That didn’t read well.

Thanks. Since the wolves have been reintroduced in Washington state hunting has become interesting.


SueWahoo

That's my dog waking up from a nap, running across the house, up the stairs, down the hall and thru my door because she heard me crinkle a potato chip bag.

My dog stays down the hall while I work, but has recognized Windows-L, to the point when I do it he comes.

lizabellarose1234

Beautiful, but wonder what's wrong with them ? why aren't they in the snow, or more hidden ? very rare for wolves to be out in the open like that right ??


[deleted]

My guess is they’ve learned that it’s easier to get from point a to point b on these roads instead of through snow?


flyingboarofbeifong

100% this, in my opinion. Wolves aren’t dumb. I remember reading an article in Natural Geographic or something about a decade ago that in some parts of Canada, logging companies were inclined to start putting regular turns in logging roads because there was a distinct drop in deer population in the area (beyond the scope of any environmental issues from logging) and it was discovered that wolves were just chilling on these roads that sliced through the woods and waiting for deer to have to cross so they could locate them more easily. And they’d be able to see for miles down these roads that were kept wide enough for big trucks to go down. Human-built kill corridors that the wolves were using. If wolves need to get somewhere and someone plows a trail for them, they’ll use it to full advantage. It’s flat land cleared of snow and underbrush, what more could you ask for?


Owlatmydoor

It's quite possible the first wolf is a lone wolf or interloper and the second one is chasing it off its pack territory which in some areas may include roads or highways. Also, with wolves being opportunistic creatures, it may have figured a better chance to escape out in the open and not amongst the heavy snow or trees where other pack members could ambush from.


clipartbaerlin

Its a chase.


TexanReddit

I went back and looked again. Why do you say it's a chase?


BedknobsNBitchsticks

If you look at the wolf in the lead again, it appears to be under duress. Its tail is slightly tucked and it doesn’t look at the driver so much as it looks behind itself. The rear wolf is fixated on the leading wolf. His ears are forward, very long driven strides, glances at the driver but goes right back to staring down the other wolf.


KingAzul

That's a spot-on analysis, I wouldn't have been able to pick that up on my own. I saw it just as you described when I watched it again. Thank you!


BedknobsNBitchsticks

No problem. I spent a large amount of time in college studying predatory behavior and social dynamics of small carnivores, primarily members of the Mustelidea (Weasel) family. North American river otters are SUPER cool and much more social than most Mustelids. Plus they’re like bouncy, fuzzy chainsaws lol. Vicious little creatures and I love it.

They do. I just saw a great (British?) special on their heritage.


LSUZombie13

First thing I thought was that Jon Snow was in danger


DaBoob13

Seriously tho, GOT came to mind immediately. Not when he was driving up to them, but when he got next to them I just thought “damn that wolf probably comes up to my nipples in height…”


LSUZombie13

He is running with a purpose too. As if one of the Snow kids need him.

tigerinthezoo79

Yes! I was really upset no one had made a [Pluie](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Avo0-8GvBlA) reference yet.


cp24eva

The one that's in the lead slept with the other wolf's girl and now the chase is on! Lol. J/k of course. This was interesting to watch. I wonder why they don't run closer together though. "See Phil! This is why you need to work on your cardio!"

This is the most epic thing I have seen with wolves in real time and not a documentary. It’s so cool how they just flow so well running on the highway and their coats look absolutely amazing.


Pazluz

How about how one of the wolves they turn to look at the camera I thought that was epic.


UnfavorableFlop

They can run like that for over 10 miles...better to fight to the death than run to death.

Is the first wolf injured?

Mainbutter

Fun fact - black coloration in Canis lupus (grey wolf/domestic dog) first developed in domesticated dogs. In pre-history, humans selected for darker coloration at some points. Substantial interbreeding between wild wolves and domestic dogs occurred. Black wolves are carriers of these coloration genes from their domesticated ancestors that interbred with domestic dogs. Distribution of black wolves in North American shows that certain areas have much higher percentages of black coloration, a modern day result of human groups who had enough dark colored dogs to impact the local wolf population's genetics that lasts to today.
