Nature on PBS Why would the narrator claim the necessary loss of pups for Blackspot to produce milk? Dogs and human females tend to synchronize their estrus cycles when living together and both display pseudo pregnancy.
False pregnancy, or pseudopregnancy, is a term used to denote a common condition in a non-pregnant female dog that is showing symptoms of pregnancy, *_lactation,_* or nursing, without producing puppies.
The affected female dog shows these symptoms about a month or two after her estrus (heat) is over. A hormonal imbalance is thought to play a central role in affected female dogs.
The condition may last for more than a month and sometimes it's necessary to provide a wide collar to prevent the dog from self nursing.
Is there any reason to believe wolves exempt from this condition?
And historians will say they were roommates
oh my god they were roomates😎😎 (please tell me you get the vine refrence LMFAO)
And they were roommates
lmaooo
They where most likely related so 😭
To those who have been thinking about reading the comment section, don't just don't. I hardly survived.
I see what you mean.
i should have listened to u
I still cannot comprehend why so many people on UA-cam are so rude and obnoxious. Love this video and have loved arctic wolves since my late angel bride and I watched the video from National Geographic White Wolf. Ground breaking video.
@gypsyco lab it's depressing because pornsickness is depressing. People (males) who see two females cooperating and immediately think it HAS TO be a sexual relationship are warped by a porn overdose. Yeah that is very depressing indeed my son.
Thank you kindly :)
Interesting how two females take care of the pups together too. I've never really heard that before yet alone see it.
It happens all the time in chimp groups. There's even a video of a jaguar taking care of its prey's offspring!
I've found some story's of a tiger and a lion taking care of kittens together there are also a lot of story's of lions caring for offspring with each other and cows assign babysitters
harold they're lesbians
Lionesses do that
Nah I've seen it a lot. There were 2 abandoned dogs in my grandparents town . both females just one with pups, and both very sweet but malnourished (We found them home ofc). The "sister" would take care of the other's pups.
It happened even with some sister cats that gave birth in the same week In our garden this year, and it was absolutely cute to see them taking turns😂 one very lazy would spend half of the day taking the sun and wanting to be pet, and the other was inside 24h waiting for the sis to come so she could go outside.
Les be honest , that that’s so cute!
Les huh les
True
yes, les.
These pups are so lucky. They have two moms and they will thrive, they will grow big and strong being able to nurse from two caring shewolves.
Such beauty
When mother insticts kick in :))
@Piranha Plant for?
All hell breaks lose
@VGV Tomato that's like the opposite of maternal instincts
@VGV Tomato AYE YO WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING HERE-
These wolf mothers were better to their young than my human family was.
These things aren't comparable.
@@PlayNiceFolks it's called a joke, perhaps you haven't heard of the word
@@muhammadeisa1459 or maybe the reality
0:52 the pup face after she casually bit his face XD
Everyone needs babysitters! Even wolves!
Older sisters in a wolf pack will also nurse and look after their mothers younger pups. It's not as exceedingly rare as the narrator makes out. Packs will do anything to protect their pups, after all. For all we know, Blackspot could be Snow White's adult daughter.
Yeah... Baby-sitting...
@@scrimshawmassacre I agree that's a lesbian marriage, not a nanny but maybe that's what they tell the other wolfs..
@@darkhorse7460 Wet nurses have existed throughout human history. It's quite common for female mammals to share duties when raising pups.
Bully: *your mom giey*
Wolf pup: which one lol
Wolves are so beautiful and intelligent. Good, caring Mom.
How beautiful that these two mums are sharing the love and care of these babies.
Good wolves!💗🐺💗I love the puppies! It's really no wonder that wolves and humans found their way to each other. So many of the behaviors are similar; gregarious by nature, we both need others to thrive. We work/hunt collectively for the betterment of all. The tender, loving care given to the young is also significantly similar. I hope humanity comes to love and respect this species, which has given us so much! I wonder if mankind would have survived without the wolf, which we turned into our most loyal companion...the domestic dog! 💗🐺💗🐕💗

When I watch "nature" videos, your type of comment are always my favorite. Idiots who see "love" and "care" and "tenderness" etc in wild nature - are the funniest idiots in the known universe!
They tell you in the video it's THE FIRST TIME this kind of behavior is filmed. You know why? Because usually the non-biological "mom" would view these pups as food. Animals kill and eat each other.
Food chain is nature.
Nature is food chain.
I hope mankind dies
dmitriy40 wolf packs work together to raise pups. The survival of their pack depends on the survival of the pups. Whats really hilarious is how confident you are in yourself.
C DeVine
Again, what you see on the video is being touted as first ever recorded behavior.
What is previously well known is that wolves can engage in cannibalism. This behavior is often observed against members of other packs, but they are known to occasionally eat each other within the pack.
I am not an expert on wolves. But a quick google search provides support for my statements, seemingly from reputable sources.
If I am mistaken on the very narrow subject of wolves eating their young - I GENUINELY DO NOT CARE.
My other, more general argument about food chains OF COURSE STILL STANDS. I am supremely confident that food chains exist. This is a fact. Anyone denying that, is obviously an idiot. MOST ANIMALS IN THE WILD DIE A VERY VIOLENT DEATH - BEING EATEN BY ANOTHER ANIMAL.
The cutest tiny baby deer (many, many baby deer) will be torn apart by the sharp teeth of the very wolf that the idiot above thinks an example of tender love, peace, friendships, etc. This cutest tiny baby deer will be devoured while her mother deer runs away for her life. That is nature.
Looking at nature for examples of love, tenderness, friendship, devotion, peace and cooperation is IDIOTIC.
Animals eat each other, all day every day.
dmitriy40 you must care a little bit seeing as you wrote me a damn essay. The animal kingdom is brutal. Most people grew up watching animal documentaries where lions rip up baby gazelles, it's no big surprise. Animals can also be very social creatures. Pack animals will engage in bonding activities such as grooming and play. They greet each other with affection and respect. They get bored, angry, and frustrated. It's only in recent years that researchers have began to explore the complexities of animal emotions. Doesn't mean they can't be brutal. African Wild dogs have extremely tight knit, social packs. They also are brutal hunters. They basically eat their prey alive.
the writer doesn't know squat. A wolf can have a sympathy pregnancy and produce milk for pups from another mother. she didn't need to abandon her own pups to be able to nurse the other wolf's litter.
Avbitten
Not abandoned. They were probably killed by the harsh environment
Sorry. I wasn't clear before. What i'm saying is her puppies might not have ever existed.
Wow, it's a good thing you've set all those animal experts and zoologists straight. PBS should let YOU narrate the film.
Actually the alpha female of packs can and will steal pups from other female members.
Coming from a professional stand point. Avbitten is actually pretty spot on. Its called a Phantom/ pseudo pregnancy. Where the levels of progesterone in the bitches body exceed regular limited. Which causes a chain reaction in her body to thinking she was pregnant. Lactating, a cocktail of pheromones and behavior alterations all happen. They are mostly triggered by the animal regaining a balance in her reproductive cycle, potentially after having pups or as a chemical response to presence of offspring or other external factors such as exposure to UV and heat. This documentary is very basic, not to say that its wrong, but they certainly havnt got their facts straight in this scenario. My advice take a look at attenborough. .
Awww this is so cute, they're so beautiful!
2:00 They look so snug laying there.
Oh wow that is so beautiful wolves are so family oriented and compassion and love is strong in there circle
Aww . This is one of the beautiful scence i ever seen in nature . Mother nature has made a beautiful picture about nature and animal . So touching
I love these wolves so glad I found more videos on them !! I WISH I HAD YOUR JOB OF FILMING THESE AMAZING ANIMALS !!
This is *LOVE* (my heart, can't take the cuteness)
i can’t believe people are getting ass hurt over ppl calling these wolves gay
Hey it’s your sister. Two years into the future. And I gotta say couldn’t agree more 😂
This is too precious
I woke up to this on my tv 💔 i was literally crying when the puppies got got killed and the other wolf.. And i was crying when black spot died😭😭
1:52 *pup aggressively drinking milk*
**C O N S U M E**
*lights flamethrower* This comment section needs a purge
Hans bring the flamewerfer
Do it! In the emperors name!
We watched this show on tv, and I still can't get over how cool it was that Black Spot dived down the den hole before the mad wolf, in order to save pups who were not her own. I also that it was So cool that on of Snow White's offspring had a black spot too. And Snow White and Black Spot are NOT a lesbian couple. Snow White has her own mate named Alpha, and Black Spot is related to Snow White.
Davianne LaBelle At least someone in the comments knows this as a pack behavior, not a question of sexuality. Like early humans, the females of the group will help in rearing the young as shown in this clip. It’s for the betterment of the group, not a show of “gay in nature is natural”. I love wolves, they are my favorite animals and I have given them respect in my writings. I came to watch this clip, but read the idiocy in the comments of lesbian wolves. To each their own, I suppose.
Branden Atkins I'm quite sure most of the comments about them being lesbians are meant to be humorous/cute. Homosexual behaviour is completely natural and has been observed in hundreds of different species.
Sonja Pelkonen I do know it is suppose to be humorous/cute, but there are those who take this to the extreme. I understand that it has been observed before, it doesn’t actually mean that much if it’s one in a billion. Besides, this is common pack behavior to help raise the young and bonds aren’t always romantic between members. I just get annoyed at the idiocy while I try to find fellow wolf enthusiasts in the comments.
+Davianne LaBelle Someone who is knowlegable about wolves wrote that the attacker was the former alpha female, their mother. They didn't attack her ferociously like a stranger. Even if they did protect the pups.
Take that lesbians!
That’s so adorable omg
The image at 2:00 was the literal manifestation of peace
Nature is so mysterious in her ways, that’s what makes her amazing. This right here is one of the most prime examples of that 💜
I don't understand what's so mysterious about this.
@@notchedbandit bro I made this comment three years ago
@@notchedbanditit basically saying nature has it beautiful moments and it not always about kill nature does get brutal sometimes but you got alot of idiots who think it just animal killing, it's not sure nature is brutal sometimes and sad but it has its happy moments to

I personally like and love Wolf's very much. They have diffrent and very special way of bond.
And in this movie I like the background music ...
The world is so beautiful 😍
Thank you for showing this miraculous video🥰🥰🥰 💗 💕
It gives me hope💜

Me: Why would this pop up?
My search history of lesbian tik toks: *Helo*
Me realizing even UA-cam wants me to watch stuff other than memes and tik toks: *nervous sweating*
The way you say that, she's even nursing the pups, like it's uncommon for a dog to nurse puppies
I think they’re saying that it’s uncommon for wolves to nurse others’ pups. Whenever a wolf is lactating, it’s usually a sign that they themselves have a full litter to care for which means that they don’t have time for another’s pups. Because Black Spot has such a strong motherly instinct, she treats Snow White’s pups as her own lost ones.
I used to have a ton of feral cats around my house. A mother ended up taking care of her litter with the help of her daughter.
Excellent video, beautiful filming I love!
I hope you have a nice week
good show and thank you.

Motherhood to the next level !!
the pups are *thriving*
İ always called mom(s) magical, thats what i meant. Every mom knows the meaning of their child: human or animal.
*whisper* Not all moms.
Mine’s less magical and more of a curse.
But I get what u mean 😂
Sweet moms and babies❤️❤️
i have a feeling black spots pups died and her mate either was gone too long or died as well
@justin portillo
Dude im just guessing!
Its hard to belive she'd abandon her own pups!
Maybe she somehow produced milk for these pups! Maybe she lost her own! Im just guessing!
She could have had a phantom pregnancy and produced milk as a result
They look so cute!
Amazing
"We've had breakfast, yes. But what about second breakfast?"
I LOVE WOLVES:)
also my brother is here beside me and he says he loves wolves too:)
okay but why are some of y'all so upset about people calling wolves lesbians 😂😂 if some rando on the internet joking about two animal moms being lesbians actually makes you this incensed, you must live a very difficult life!
@Random Raichu PREACH;
@Random Raichu i get what you're saying, but there's definitely a double standard here. if it were a random male wolf helping a single mom instead of another female, with no sort of mating behaviour between the two, a lot of people would interpret it as "romantic" and find it cute, and i seriously doubt anybody would even question that, much less get as worked up as some of these commenters. so why is it such a big deal if gay people wanna see two wolf moms raising pups together and relate to that? it feels like the whole "i don't have a problem with gay people, just don't shove it down my throat" sentiment.
@@WerewolfCat890 Yee it's actually cute but it's not cute when some people in the LGBT get mad at the innocent straight people
@Random Raichu for sure, i know these wolves aren't actually gay, lol. and from what i've seen, most gay people in the comments aren't making the argument that they are factually gay. they're joking about it because they find the concept cute, and they're getting flamed for it because, well, i don't know! i just don't understand why it makes people uncomfortable or upset enough that they feel the need to type-yell at people in the youtube comments. making jokes about animals being gay isn't intrusive, inflammatory, or aggressive- it's just people seeing something cute and relating to it, even if what they're relating to is their fictional interpretation of a real situation. and for the record, i don't think you're being unreasonable or homophobic or anything, i'm talking about other comments i've read. i'm glad we're able to have an actual polite discussion about it instead of devolving into insult-hurdling like a lot of the other comments!
@@skeletonlvl7018 well, there are definitely aggressive people on both sides, lol. it's been pretty evenly split between angry lgbt people and angry straight people in the comments i've read 😅
Awww their so arorable!
This is so cute

Lov you wolfes
My favorite animal ❤
That isnt true. Blackspot doesnt necessarily need a pup to feed Snow white's pups. Its called sympathy pregnancy. If a creature (wolf here) has a strong bond with a young one then she will automatically produce milk for the pups even if they arent hers. Let me just say....WOLVES ARE AMAZING AND MAJESTIC AND TRULY BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
Keep the faith and do not be discouraged! Wed Dec 9, 2020
I love you wolves!
Omg there are a Lot of arguments about the 2 mom's being gay, one just babysitting or just saying they aren't gay, all I wanted to do was look at wolves and the pups ○~○
EDIT: okay this comment was litteraly 3 years ago and it was just me saying that I only wanted to see how 2 female wolves raised a pup, because back then I didn't get it and I was fascinated by wolves (they're my spirit animal) and how they had different lifestyles. I hardly knew anything about them back then but now I have some knowledge of them And i didn't say that they were lesbians, I was saying what some of the comments were writing. Also I did NOT know what a furry was back then so please no rude comments to anyone. and perhaps take a break from the comment section and watch the video
I feel ya
Furries, man. They're all furries bringing their deviant fetishes into everything.

The White Wolf (Canis albus) is a species of dog found in the polar regions, there are about seven subspecies of white wolf, the Tundra Wolf (Canis albus albus), the Arctic Wolf (Canis albus arctos), the Hudson Bay Wolf (Canis albus hudsonicus), the Mackenzie River Wolf (Canis albus mackenzii), the Baffin Island Wolf (Canis albus manningi), the Greenland Wolf (Canis albus orion), and the Barren-Ground Wolf (Canis albus tundrarum).
Those pups are going to be really big wolves 😂

*PACK STORY*
The other female (One who isn't the real mother, BlackSpot) Died from starvation. She didn't leave the den AT ALL and the food was scarce. The pack went out hunting leaving the alpha (SnowWhite) the real mother. And BlackSpot alone, BlackSpot became very ill from lack of food and died. Then SnowWhite took her 4 week old pups to the best hunting grounds in the territory. Then she met some packmemebers their (since they found her) she then met the rest of her pack (sadly one stubborn member crossed into unknown grounds and were murdered by a different pack.) Then SnowWhites mate (Alfa) found her and all went well.
*This is true. This all happened to their still growing pack.*
lmao, yes they do. mainly to teach them and to watch over them.
oh okay, that makes sense. i'm a dummy now lol
justin portillo - They meant that Snow White relocated her pups to a new den site in a more prosperous area of the territory, not that she took them hunting.
Food was extremely scarce and Black Spot had starved in the den, blocking the entrance. The rest of the pack had left in search of food and would not be back for awhile. Normally she wouldn't have moved them for another month, but they would likely have starved if they'd stayed, so she took a risk.
All three survived the trip, though it was slow going as the pups couldn't travel far. She met some other members of the pack part way, enabling her to leave the pups with them and make frequent hunting trips in a very prey-rich part of the territory to bring back food. One of the pack members was found alone too close to Raider territory and was chased down and killed by three members. Alpha found the rest of the pack, and the narrator pointed out a familiar-looking black spot at the base of a pup's tail after they'd grown a bit. It ended off there.

I can see why no one would want to read the comments section. Not worth the time unless you care nothing about nature and love rude idiotic comments. UA-cam can be wonderful except for people who are so rude.
I see no difference 👍🏻 love is love
Such pretty girls :3
Even wolves can have lovely behaviour even if wolves are commonly seen as aggressive large wild dogs😊.
💗💗
Aw
I saw the original documentary. I think black spot is a sister to snow white, and she left to start her own family. Black spot's attempt failed and she returned. In the documentary, she ended up wasting away giving all of her energy to save these pups, and died; she even used her body to protect the den entrance when it was attacked.
My dogs always do that feed each other without giving birth
where can I watch the full documentary?
And they said that kids with two moms wouldn’t do well.....
technically, they're sisters but yeah you're point is right
