Is there a chance that he had previously befriended them? Just wondering.
Daily Mail - In a bizarre clip that is both heart-warming and strange, five grey wolves kiss and cuddle a photographer - who is happy to join the pile of love.The pack starts by circling each other and wild life photographer Monty Sloan on a lake-side green at the Wolf Park in Battle Ground, Indiana.
Mr Sloan is poised to take a picture but it seems he cannot resist returning the sharp-fanged animals' affection.
Alarmingly, in the Park's description of the pack, they explain that they are 'very friendly' to their prey - but sources insist this was a moment of genuine affection.
'Wolves do not growl or snarl at their prey,' the guide explains, 'It would be like a human getting angry at an ice cream cone he or she was about to eat!
Wolves who are hunting look very excited and happy, even “friendly”.'
But tumbling around on the floor, these animals show no sign of cunning.They climb on each other to lick his face and nuzzle his head.
Incredibly, the fearless animal lover kisses them back.
Wolves social hierarchy
Unlike their cousins - dogs - these animals are instinctively wild, with a strict code of conduct based on hierarchy within their pack.
There is one line of rank for males and one for females.The alpha male and female lead their packs.
Second in command is the beta male or female.
Although there are leaders and weaklings, it is not always survival of the fittest.
It is always the hungriest that gets to eat first, not necessarily the biggest.
Working together, they ensure each member has a role to play and none are neglected.
Contrary to popular belief, wild wolves are not dangerous.
