Wolf pups can play 'Fetch' like dogs without being taught the game

scientists in a ground-breaking discovery have proved dog-like social-communicative behaviour in thirteen 8-week-old wolf pups by playing game of ‘Fetch’ with m. Christina Hansen Wheat and Hans Temrin, biologists at Stockholm University reportedly put to test 13 wolf puppies from three different litters to fetch a ball which was instructed by a stranger, and much to ir astonishment, wolf pups complied. pups as per records have been kept without prior domestication or human interaction. 

Dr Hansen Wheat released video of experiment on Twitter where a wolf pup named ‘Sting’ is seen pacing to retrieve a ball thrown by a stranger. behaviour of this third wolf pup snuck up on researchers since previously first two litters h shown desirable responses to fetch ball shattering researchers’ expectations. 

This unique behavioural pattern of faithfulness and dependability is commonly t expected in wolves, suggest scientists. However, according to reports some standing variations might have possibly altered phe in se giant ancestral species that may have led se wolf pups to interpret human social communication cues.

Wolf pup’s behaviour “unexpected”

Christina Hansen Wheat of Stockholm University reportedly described third wolf pup’s behaviour as “unexpected”. According to sources, experiment rendered scientists speechless as  person that was appointed to hurl ball across room was a stranger pup does t kw and without benefit of any prior experience or training, he could encour a wolf pup to fetch ball.

study which was reportedly published on Thursday in journal iScience confirms responsiveness of this nature in untrained wolves. Dr Hansen Wheat, Stockholm University, Sweden told media that body has conducted play behaviour test in wolves before. While dogs are selectively bred in human environment and taught to obey commands like retrieving an object, ir ancestor wolves do t have to undergo training to respond to human encourment. It is this trait that has evolved dogs to be man’s loyal friend.
