I live on an agricultural holding, and Maia is a wolf that also lives on said agricultural holding. Am I misunderstanding the question? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] webp@mander.xyz 1 point 2 months ago (1 child) Uh, yeah. I am asking if for wolves in general it can be a sign of submission. As in the post. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] DarkSurferZA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* 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. permalink fedilink source parent
