That's apparently at a zoo in Norway so they are used to people.

If that was the actual wild, those wolves would likely not be near those people....unless there's no deer or caribou. Then you don't want to see them. AWOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Any animal that can take down a moose I respect.

Wild animals develop what is called "human adaptation" after repeated contact with the human species, which makes them appear tame or domesticated or otherwise rendered innocuous. The same thing happened for years with the Yellowstone Bears, who for years were fed from cars and generally treated like they were pets, until a few of them started eating people. It happens with marine mammals at places like Seaworld. It also happens with wolves, deer, and other wildlife.

There is a little-known phenomenon called "instinctive drift," which means that over time instinctive patterns will come to override even well-learned but more superficial behavior patterns. This woman could be in for a very rude surprise some day when she least expects it.

Not necessarily true. NatGeo had a wonderful special about the return to wolves out west, and a man and woman were with the pack for over a year. They returned over a year after leaving, and were greeted in the exact same manner as the lady in this video. The wolves even howled with excitement.
