hi guys,
I just discovered that I was completely wrong in my opinion concerning the “bite inhibition” of dogs and/or wolves. I thought (and I guess that 95 % of the people also do) that the wolf which offers his throat is the inferior one, but that’s WRONG. Erik Zimen disproved this. My earlier opinion was that the superior wolf is “social” and doesn’t want to kill a member of his pack. Well, everyone is learning. So am I.
But I guess, that most of the people won’t like this point, because it’s not social enough.

Very interesting!
Is there any information why?
Yes. First of all this:

which is also linked in the article. As far as I understand, the bite inhibition is a learned thing and is not an instinct. Young wolves and dogs learn it in a very early stage that biting another wolf causes the other wolf to bite you even harder. So if the wolf shows you his throat he wants to tell you “come on, give it a try, even if I offer you my weakest spot, I’m going to win this battle by biting you even harder!”. But that doesn’t happen in serious fights. There is no bite inhibition in serious fights. The bite inhibition is only found in little fights between wolves of the same pack.
and i learned that you have to book servicing to consumer goods, but handkerchiefs to cleansers…
accounting sucks!
