Why fren shaped if not fren?

Thanks 🥰
Let them towel you off, maybe get a snack. What's the worst that could happen?
I saw the blanket and "ancestors warned me" and my initial first thought was FAR DARKER than domestication xD
Ummm.. Context?
In North America, White Settlers attempted to kill First Nations people with blankets given as gifts that were infected with smallpox
edit: "During a parley in midst of the siege on 24 June 1763, Captain Simeon Ecuyer gave representatives of the besieging Delawares two blankets and a handkerchief enclosed in small metal boxes that had been exposed to smallpox, in an attempt to spread the disease to the Natives in order to end the siege"
Well now I'm in the "people who know" side of the meme
cough cough
I'm more of a cat person, but I'd still totally would.
A wolf could have easily killed whoever was handling it. I guess it was just completely resigned to the situation.
While wolves can cause fatal injuries, they rarely do. From 1952 to 2002, there were 8 deaths in Europe + Russia, and 3 in North America. Most wolf attacks occur in south Asia, due to rabies.
The Estonian Union for the Protection of Animals (EUPA) said the wolf had low blood pressure when it arrived at the veterinarian's office, which may have explained its docile nature after the men carried it to their car to warm it up.
Wouldn’t the wolf understand they were trying to help?
It's true that wolves are more intelligent than given credit for and that they're much more afraid of humans than vice versa, but you're not going to befriend a wolf and engage in physical interactions without months of preparation. They treat us as larger predators, and will struggle to avoid being eaten.
Probably not, no. Wild wolves tend to have only negative interactions with humans and thus instinctively consider them a threat regardless of the specific situation..
Disney lied to me
You better sit down for this next part..
Remember The Lion Ling? Turns out lions can't sing and have no concept of monarchic rule!
This is true. It's an established fact that lions adopted a unicameral parliamentary system as far back as 1643.
Plx tell me that it was not a lie when every good girl/mermaid/bitch/toy. gets a rich handsome prince and has a happy ever after.
NAAANIII????? But but but... That's inconceivable!!
