Welcome to Animal Educate!
My name is Abbie and I'm a filmmaker, teacher and wildlife biologist in the making. I have a diploma in Animal care and Marine biology and I'm studying an MSc in Wildlife biology and conservation as well as wolf behaviour and rewilding.
The animal kingdom is full of mysterious creatures to learn about - in fact you will never stop learning about animals or the environment. We discover 18,000 new species every year! Explore the animal world with me.
My channel is an educational and entertaining platform dedicated to research, teaching and raising awareness. I cover animal ethology and ecology. I also cover important and interesting animal news and have a particular interest in Rewilding Britain. Rewilding is so important! Too many of us are disconnected from animals and nature. Rewilding is the first step to bring nature back into our lives and bridging that gap. We can learn so much from animals!

Rewilding Britain - Legal Challenge to Stop the Beaver Cull
Wolves are not the moster. Human is the devil\evil =moster in this planet. Indeed, wolves are the true angels. Angel is a term that human being use to define godness and bravery because human knows that human can never be an angel because of the true evil in the dna of them. Human hates wolves becsude wolf is the top of the foodchain, true number one predator in this planet. Way smarter, royal, loyal, fearless, brave and stronger than a humannbeing. Human being has annadvantage over a wolf only with the tools and support of the collective intelligence if the 9 Bllion + human in this planet and over 150000 years of collective technologic advancement of billions if humanbeing lived and has been living in this planet. If you take si called the smartest and mkst strongest human being and leave it alone middle of a wild nature, far far from other humans, without any tools, weaoons, clothe, food etc that made by the ither 9 Billion people in teh world; That human being will nit have any change against to an avarage wolf. While wolf uses no weapon, no tools and\or any kind if collective support from the wolves around the world. All wolf has is the its physical self same way as the birth of it and its intelligence learned with life experience and came from other pack members. Forget about physical fight between that human being vs wolf. Just finding a food and surviving will be the real chalange.human will not last more than 5 days, without any kind if tool, food, weapon etc by ither human beings in the civilized world. However, %99,99 of the alone wolves will survive for years, without any kind if pack or any kind of support from ither wolves...
Killing wolves causes way more damage to farming and agriculture than anything else. That is just an excuse to kill some creature. Human already found a proper way to stop wolves eating livestock, without any creature killing another. Livestock guardian dogs. Turkish Shepherd dog variations (Kangal, Akbas, Malakli etc) has been doing that job perfectly for more than 2000 +years. Just a pack of Turkish Kangal Shepherd dogs, will prevent any kind of wild predator attacking livestock. %99,99 of the time, Turkish shepherds and wolves (or bear, mountain lion etc) do not get physical action, no whatsoever close combat. So, wolf stay alive in their natural habit, dogs alive and heeding their livestock, human are happy because wild predators do not eat livestock. Turkish livestock guardian dogs works in packs, exactly the way that wolves do. Around 4 grown adult Kangal dogs can protect Upton 400 sheep or goats and powerful enough to defeat 8 to 10 wolves.Kangal dog pack of 6 dogs, can defeat any number of the wolves no matter how big is the wolfpack. Wild predators are smart enough to know that they have no chance against to 4 adult Kangals and never gonna change them. Dogs never gonna get into physical war if it is not really necessary. Even 20 human shepherds and\or cowboys etc. cannot do the job that 4 Turkish Kangal dogs can do. Cost efficient, no death, no harm to the nature, no harm to the livestock. One bark of an Kangal dog is 100 times more effective than shooting 1000 Bullets.....
Such a great work you did. However, among all that information, you did not mentioned the ""Ergenekon"" legend. Wolf is a holly animal in Turkish\Turkic = Türk culture. Legend literally mentioned that whole Turks came from A wolf mother and human father. İndeed, that shewolf (Asena) is reflected as sort of female prophet or even Goddess herself. I believe, whole that werewolf bullsit Hollywood movie character anctually comes from the Turk\Turkic ethnic. If we consider, all the the Huns (Attila the Hun), Ottomans, Seljuk, Timurid, Mongol etc Turkic empire and fear of their warrior culture, it makes sense to define Turks and\or wolves as a socalled monster creature like a werewolf.
I have had wolves at my farm several times. Trackers found they had been staying less than 100 meters from our house in the woods for at least one week. I once walked up to them in the middle of a field but I had to stop because they did not flee. This meant I could not let my kids roam free on the farm because what if the wolfs dident care that you say they don’t kill people
Where are you? If you contact the IWCN they are brilliant for advice and guidance. wildlifecoexistence.org/ xx
Die Zahlen sind doch gefälscht: Alleine in 3 Bundesstaaten Indiens gibt es schon ca. 200 Tote pro Jahr durch Wölfe. Außerdem redet die Kanalbetreiberin den größten Blödsinn, wenn sie die Anzahl der Wölfe mit der Anzahl der Menschen vergleicht, die in den Ländern leben. Die meisten dieser Menschen leben in Städten - und da kommt kein Wolf hin. Die Landbevölkerung ist also gefährdet. Außerdem werden doch nicht alle Wolfsangriffe gemeldet. In vielen Ländern ist es so, dass die den Wolf einfach abknallen, wenn er gefährlich wurde. Die machen sich da nicht noch extra die Mühe, zu irgendeiner Institution zu gehen um zu sagen, dass sie von dem Wolf angegriffen wurden und ihn abknallten. Das Wolfsproblem lässt sich ganz einfach lösen: Diejenigen, die unbedingt Wölfe in ihrem Land haben wollen, sollen dazu verpflichtet werden, einen Wolf in ihrer Wohnung zu halten. Dann sorgt der Wolf dafür, dass Wolfsliebhaber fast wie von selbst verschwinden. In den USA sind schon mehrere Wolfs-Biologen, die Wölfe für harmlos erklärten, von ihren Lieblingen gefressen worden. Jedem Wolfsliebhaber wünsche ich, dass ihm im Winter ein ausgehungertes Rudel Wölfe begegnet! Dann ist er für immer geheilt! Auf Bären bezogen, kann ich diesen geistigen Tieffliegern, die Bären im Land haben wollen, das selbe wünschen.
Die Leute haben noch nicht verstanden, dass Wölfe nicht zusammen mit Menschen in einer Kulturlandschaft leben können. Wölfe brauchen die Wildnis. Wo sie mit Menschen zusammentreffen wird es immer Probleme geben. Sie sind Opportunisten in der Nahrungsbeschaffung. Das war schon immer so und wird sich nicht ändern. Um Nutzvieh vor Wölfen zu schützen, braucht es eine konsequente Bejagung der Wölfe. Zäune und Schutzhunde sind keine dauerhafte Lösung. Durch die Bejagung lernt der Wolf den Menschen zu fürchten und wird sich entfernen. Dies hat die dauernde Bejagung in Nordamerika bewiesen. Dort findet man kaum Wölfe in der Nähe von Menschen. Und wenn doch, so hat der Mensch das Prinzip noch nicht verstanden und ist in seiner romantischen Vorstellung vom Wolf gefangen, bis die Realität ihn eines Besseren belehrt.
Your cow example doesn't make sense at all.
@@niklask7635 hello, thanks for your feedback. Please help me to understand
@@AnimalEducate By that logic you could argue that walking down the stairs is more dangerous than jumping out of an airplane just because more people die every year walking down the stairs
Thank you for this valuable facts
WONDERFUL VIDEO!!!!!!!! There were still ancient species of wolves that were hard core like sabertooth tigers and mammoths in Bible times. They were the animal's men faught in Rome. No one wanted to pay to see a Grey Wolf killed in an arena. The wolves in the Bible were obviously more like hyenas and wild dogs, the kind that didn't kill first and THEN fiest. Just watch videos of how those various wild dogs, coyotes and coywolves kill. They tear their victims to pieces alive, THAT IS THE SIGNATURE DIFFERENCE that idednties those killers from Grey Wolves, no mercy kill. Bears don't kill first and then eat, a mountain lion will grab a throat but it will hind-claw the innards out and eat while it's in shock. If I had to choose between being killed by any kind of wild animal and a gray wolf I would choose a gray wolf without a thought. Matter of fact I'd prefer to be killed by a gray wolf than a human.
What Ranchers don't understand is that wolves do on farms what they do in the wild, they detect sickness and defect that humans can't detect. There are videos of them NOT taking down a calf bison in their reach but run right past the calves and take down an adult bison. When researchers foresiced the cached bison to find out why the wolves chose a harder kill that risked injury and was more than they could consume, they discovered the bison had an existing problem in its hind leg. Wolves, if they attack livestock it's that they detected defect or sickness. Grey wolves never sport kill or destructively kill, but coywolves, coydogs, wolfdogs and coyotes DO. Greys are unique, They only break character if they are under duress. They, kill at the throat before eating, the ground will pin the victim but wait for the one at the throat to detect death or lack of pulse and movement. Greys are UNIQUE, they help flora and fauna to thrive, they won't over hunt a species but will change their menu to the prey that is out of balance and disrupting the balance. Not all wolf species are alike, Greys are STEWARDS OF THE FORESTS... humans forgot their role as stewards and can't find fault with the loyalty the Grey Wolves uphold in their absence. I can't stand the misinformation that lumps all wolf species into a single identity. The Grey Wolf is a victim of Identity Theft... they deserve to be exonerated from the bad actors and impostors.
@@jibberoverjava thank you so much for your comment
The most dangerous animal on earth is not the wolf but the mosquito which has killed more humans than any mammal and due to climate change we may find that malahria will spread to parts of our continent which were thought to be to cold for the the mosquito to survive. I for one love the wolf, thanks for another great informative video and wishing you a Happy New Year 🎉
Any animal can attack humans, especially in self defense but neurological diseases and parasites is what people should be afraid of 🧐🔬
Muy buen tema
Did anyone know Hippopotamuses used to live in much Europe in prehistoric times.
Baleen or toothed, I love whales!
Awesome!
I'm sorry, but anything relying so heavily on AI is a hard pass for me. The easiest way to spread misinformation and show a disregard for doing your own work.
Hello, I generated the chat using a scientific document and have listened to the whole podcast and its fine. I agree that AI is problematic - very. This video is just a bit of fun and I guess an experiment. I have just completed my MSc in wildlife biology and conservation of which I'm so thrilled. I work incredibly hard. I really appreciate your comment - its all data! So thank you
You been listening to Zombie by the Cranberries too much? In your head, in your head, zombie zombie zombie.....

iam from europe, and we don t have collared doves, thrushs. starlings and wrens, or they are on decline ...
Thank you. I find it disturbing how people are buying plastic trees "for environmental reasons because cutting down trees is bad and also Christmas tree farms destroy real forest". Maybe one should not get a Christmas tree from the grocery store or other olaces that make it likely to be from a huge Christmas tree farm where they weed out the undergrowtg etc.. But for very many people it is possible to get the tree from a local farmer who gets them from his own forest. The forests here (Germany) exist BECAUSE they are profitable, so let's help them stay a source of income.
It’s not a nest. It’s a duplex. Those things are bigger than my shed.

I no longer eat fin fish because of the cetacean and sea turtle bycatch. It's immoral to drown an air-breathing mammal just so we can enjoy a cheap fish sandwich.
Three times a year we stay at a bed and breakfast 3.5 miles outside Ross on Wye.. we were there the first weekend of November.. and a large black cat... possibly a puma.. was seen sat happily with two deers on the Saturday morning! it seems to have appeared all of a sudden.. the owners wife saw it dashing over their driveway a week or so before... their property is surrounded by ancient woodland.. we went out into the woods Saturday evening in the gathering gloom and heard a squeaky mewing which we matched to a puma call on UA-cam...
Imma use some of this information for a school assignment, I love gulls and think it's a shame that people dislike them
Great job, this film. If ever you go to France, don't miss "La pyramide du loup", a museum founded by a friend. And if you go there, please let me know so that I can try to be there as well. SUggestion : a docu about the jackal, this champion of hide and seek and of hop, skip and jump. The golden jackal is now colonising W Europe and may well become the predator of coypu and muskrats we need.
informative and well presented; well paced and illustrated with film clips.
Ah yes, here it is : “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
It would be good to trace George Monbiot's words back to George Gordon Lord Byron in "Childe Harold's pilgrimage".
Trophy hunting, which indeed aims big wolves, preferably males, is a problem in areas with livestock as it often "beheads" a pack by killing a lead animal, which disrupts family order and takes away experience, which, in turn, makes it more likely that younger animals attack livestock as the leadership and cooperation needed to hunt wild prey falters. I'm not a philosopher, but I think that thinking that "inhumane" actions are typically if not exclusively carried out by humans, both on their fellow humans and on other species, is not far off.
I found that interesting, partly because even though i love and support the idea of wolf reintroduction and rewilding in general, part of me was sceptical about the authenticity of the claims in the video. Which thinking a little more about it is stupid, when you stop and consider for example the interelationships between creatures we humans dont come into conflict with such as Clown fish and Anemone for example that would not provoke that sort of scepticism. Just shows the power of social conditioning over the generations. Free the wolf!
Hunting has brought me closer to nature, has allowed me to actually get to experience wild animals, not just on tv like most “animal lovers” and most importantly I have grown to truly love these animals and respect them more than anything. I am a hunter, it’s who I am, it’s spiritual to me. The worst part of hunting is the kill for me , what anti hunters think it is we thrive for…. And the best part is admiring the wild, watching the woods come to life and finally, enjoying the harvest.
Co-existence as you mentioned is key. There was a huge spider in my house tonight and my son caught it straightaway, so while it sat (like only a spider can do) on the floor we had a conversation about co-existing and i said to him, if we cant accept a spider inside our house how are we going to learn to live with Wolves? He said he didn't mind Wolves, it was just great big spiders freaking him out. What, because they're not furry and they have eight legs and eight eyes? Some people hate any kind of invertebrate, its all learned behaviour and we need to unlearn it.
Thank you! That was very well put together.
Compared to most other countries, our wildlife is shit. Don’t get me wrong, the wildlife we do have are great, but I mean, come on… Many countries in Africa: lions, antelope, rhinos, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, etc. India: Tigers, leopards, bears, monkeys, elephants, etc. China: giant pandas, tigers, red pandas, snow leopards, etc. America: cougars, bears, wolves, moose, elk, coyotes, etc. Canada: similar to America, cougars, elk, moose, bears, wolves, coyotes, polar bears, etc. South America: jaguars, monkeys, crocodiles, etc. UK: our biggest land-based predator is a fricking badger! No wolves, no bears, no large predators, not even elk! What some people seem to think the reintroduction of wolves would be: huge, scary packs and packs of wolves everywhere, in our gardens, eating people, eating people’s pets, eating loads of farmed animals. The reality of wolf reintroduction to the UK: Only very small numbers of shy, wary and misunderstood wolves who will not harm us or come into our gardens, introduced into the wildest parts of the UK, such as the Highlands of Scotland, Northumberland, the Forest of Dean, with amazing benefits to our ecosystems.
