The viral video of the man’s encounter with the pack of wolves in Quebec, Canada, has attracted more than 200 million views on the popular social media platform TikTok
A man had a shockingly calm reaction to seeing a pack of howling wolves looking at him through a window.
Self-confessed animal lover Michee Don, from New Jersey, shared an up-and-close experience he had with wolves during a trip to Quebec, Canada. In a viral video uploaded to TikTok, Michee was seen recording from the inside of a house with large windows.
But outside, a pack of wolves could be seen walking up through the snow and getting up close to the glass. Before long, the pack started howling prompting Michee to get up and walk closer to the window.
“What’s up?” he said in a calm tone. “What are you all doing?”
Without any fear, Michee then reached out his hand toward the glass as the pack of several wolves continued to howl into the night. He then scanned to another section of the glass and it appeared grabbed the attention of at least one of the animals, although they seemed not to care that they were being watched.
The wolves carried on howling until the 22-second-long clip ended. Unsurprisingly, the video managed to attracted hundreds of millions of views online with many commenting that Michee was lucky that he was not in a straw house, alluding to the well-known three Little Pigs fairy tale.
Since being shared to TiKTok earlier this month, the clip has attracted a whopping 245 million times. In another clip, MicheeDon was seen opening the door to find that at least three wolves were waiting outside.
One TikTok user said: “Bro, you are lucky your house ain’t made of straw rn (right now).” Another added: “My toxic trait is thinking I can step outside, and give all of them pets and scratches.”
While a third posted: “This is how I would die if I ever saw a wolf, cause I would 100 per cent believe it’s just a husky.” The Mirror has contacted MicheeDon for comment.
While the videos were uploaded to TikTok within the past week, a four-minute video uploaded to MicheeDon’s YouTube channel showed he was in Quebec looking at wolves eight months ago.
According to the non-profit organisation Living With Wolves, there are numerous reasons why the animals howl. It added: “Within a family of wolves, communication helps maintain social stability.
“It helps reinforce pack solidarity and enables the opportunity for young pack members to learn information specifics to the pack and how to survive. Communication is also used to express an individual’s intentions or emotional disposition or feelings.
“As with any highly social animal, communication amongst wolves in particularly complex and involved and it is vital to keeping the family functioning together as one.”
