About: Wolf Body Language

[Forest]

(Thunder's guide made me want to post something helpful as well, and though it might not be my own creation, I think it will be helpful in roleplaying. And if it's too much poop, feel free to flush it down the toilet xD)



Affection – nose-pushing; touching with forepaw; jaw-wrestling; cheek rubbing; facial licking

Afraid – wolf tries to make their body smaller; ears flat on the head; tail tucked between the legs; arched back; whines or makes short, sharp barks; runs away with its tail between its legs

Angry – ears erect; fur bristles; lips up and curled back to reveal incisors; snarls; wolf crouches as it prepares to attack; tail held stiffly and horizontally

Calm – tail points straight down; wolf sits or lays down on its side; wags tail slightly

Dominant – wolf stands tall; ears erect and forward; fur bristles; tail held vertically; stares at submissive wolves; may bark and growl. Asserting dominance: dominant wolf will bite the neck of the inferior wolf and hold it for a moment or bite the snout of the inferior wolf

Happy – tail wags slightly; tongue lolls out of mouth

Nervous – wolf narrows eyes; ears flat against the head; tail is parallel to the ground

Playful – tail is high and wags; wolf frolics around; may lay low while holding the rear high in a manner reminiscent of domestic dogs; littermates may bite each others’ jaws

Active submission - body is lowered; lips and ears drawn back; tongue thrust in and out of the mouth rapidly; tail placed down or between the legs; muzzle points toward dominant animal; submissive wolf may lick the muzzle of the dominant wolf; the more the back arches and the tail tucks, the more submissive the wolf is; sometimes used as a form of greeting

Passive submission - wolf rolls on its back to expose throat and belly; paws drawn into the body; wolf whimpers

This is very helpful, Forest! I find it interesting that they included active and passive submission. Those are things I learned in my program about dog behavior. They both have pretty much the same way of communicating as wolves.

This is really helpful! Sometimes it's real hard to figure out what you're supposed to do...

When in doubt, pretend to be a seizuring giraffe that's trying to eat floating jello blobs. Works every time.

[Rain]

Tsuki... I told that to my sister... Her face... I... I can't... I just... xDD

[Robin]

Omg. Rain. Genius. I must tell my sister when she gets up!

[Rain]

Just saying. Don't tell her twice. She hates it the second time... xD

[Robin]

You're telling me. i tried this on my mom and got a total careface

[Rain]

We need booty wiggling.

[Forest]

We need to have spoopy behavior and how to make panties drop.

[Rain]

We need more Calcium, definitely.

[Forest]

But that's not even body language? xD

[Rain]

When you realize, you will see it on someone if they need Calcium, you will know what I mean.

I think you forgot the most important boday language there is: Sexy.

[Rain]

Since it's a body language, it as to be a verb, which you haven't specified. BEING sexy, is better. c:

Grammar skills are very important here at LOTE.

I read a memo/note in my old iPhone 3GS that I made when I was in 3rd grade...

I'm surprised of my excellent grammar.
Now I think I suck. -,- Been a while since I wrote...

[Thundo Puffs]

I know how you feel. I visited the old site a few times before... or I read my old bios... dear god...

I don't know how you all put up with it.
