I lived with wolves
- Mz 16y agoI've seen this before, or, I think, a related piece by the same guy (which makes me think it was probably posted on HN before -- or some variation of it). It's an amazing story, and I don't impress too easily. Excerpt: The other time, I wanted to get a drink from the stream and one of the wolves stopped me dead in my tracks, growling, snarling and nipping me. I thought, "This is the end, he's going to finish me off." An hour or so later, he started to lick my face and we both went to the stream for a drink. There I saw evidence of recent bear tracks and droppings, and I realised this was why he guarded me. I would almost certainly have been killed but, more importantly, my tracks would have led back to their young, so it was for their protection.
