Her tail is down like she’s scared in all the photos. Is this a mutual relationship?
Tail down in a dog doesn’t only mean scared, and I don’t think you can assume dog behaviours of a wolf.
Tail down in dogs can mean loads of things. Tail down in wolves can mean everything from hunting, stalking, chilling, walking, checking if I am home and gonna feed them.
Can confirm, I just checked with Maia now .
Submission?
What do you mean submission? I live on an agricultural holding, and Maia is a wolf that also lives on said agricultural holding. Am I misunderstanding the question?
Uh, yeah. I am asking if for wolves in general it can be a sign of submission. As in the post.
Oh, ok, I understand. No. It’s not a sign of submission. Tail down is usually just when they have nothing to say (relaxed), or when they are trying not to be seen (hunting, or hiding).
Generally though, it doesn’t mean anything without context.
Second last pic looks like a greeting (non threatening pose), last pic is scared. They clearly spotted the photographer. Female wolves are especially skittish around humans.
