Huskies average 60lbs which is a bit more than half my weight. I grew up with huskies so I’m familiar with their size, as medium/medium-large dogs. Based on this pic, I feel like a wolf would be like my size or up to 20% larger than I am.

Did some searching. According to Wikipedia they aren’t a lot shorter than I am either. 4.5 foot from the ground, to my 5.2 foot. If you go nose to tail they beat me hands-down.

Body mass ranges from 30-175 lbs, I fall squarely within those numbers at around 115 lbs.

Therefore, this wolf likely actually is bigger than me in at least two metrics. I’m only taller from the floor if they stay on all fours, and that’s all I have going for me. I also don’t have giant predator teeth.

I’m really glad we have civilization. I’d for sure be prey.

I checked Wikipedia as well:

I thought it was the beginning of a joke for a moment

Those look like some big fuckin ravens

the problem with corvids is that basically only magpies look any different, and even then if they happen to have less white on them they can still be confusing..

Like tell me which one of these is a crow, a rook, and a raven:

According to Wikipedia, the Common Raven (most common raven across the entire Northen Hemisphere) measures about 25in in length. That's just over 2ft. So definitely not a small bird.

Ravens ARE big. About as large as a golden eagle, larger than a falcon or a kite. It's the crows that are just a bit bigger than pigeons.

perhaps it's time to get a pointy stick.

[-] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 4 points 5 days ago

I don’t think that would be enough.. I know what fighting dogs of husky size looks like.. no thanks.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

maybe two pointy sticks then.

I’m not specced to dual-wield, but I’ll give it a go with penalties!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 9 points 5 days ago

Pointy sticks are OP bro you got this

[-] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 7 points 5 days ago

Not bro, but still hope so! 😛

I’d have been a wicked fierce Amazonian, had that been my culture. Wolves? Ha!

At 5'2 I think the Amazonians might have kept you as a pet...

Look, someone’s gotta be able to go for the knees, alright? That’s right about shoulder height for me so that’s perfect.

[-] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

Original bro would be a nice mod for OP

Ahh, what you want is a boar spear. Also several friends with the same.
