Tipp des Tages : 04 February

Make the difference between a dog and a wolf


- First, we look at how they run : a dog by making short bounds, while a wolf tends to glide across the ground to make as few moves as possible
- a dog's elbows point outward when he runs, while those of a wolf point inward
- A dog still has dewclaws in his paws when a wolf has not
- A dog will often want to approach you when a wolf will try to escape.
So even if an animal can be dangerous depending on the circumstances, you will have much more chance of being bitten by a dog than a wolf.
