The video explores the behavior and handling of a large, aggressive wolf that has lost its natural fear of humans due to being hand-raised. The team employs a strategy to assert dominance by working together like a pack. The video also measures the wolf's bite force, which is recorded as the highest among canines, surpassing that of wild dogs and domestic dogs. However, the wolf's bite force is still less than that of a giant crocodile. The video concludes with a discussion on the importance of wolves' dental care and their reliance on pack strength.
