    "Do wolves wag their tails, like dogs? If so, why?
    Matthew Thompson
    Washington, D.C.

    They do, and largely for the same reasons—to signal either excitement or submission to more dominant animals in their pack. In the human-domestic canine relationship, we are the “top dogs,” and tail wagging is one way our pets show respect.

    A wagging tail does not mean that a wolf is happy or even comfortable with the situation.
    It means the wolf is emotionally aroused.
    This could be a happy arousal, or it could be a nervous arousal,
    or it could be an aggressive arousal.

    Gotcha.. I was thinking it was a bug tied to the new idle emote for dogs that had propagated to wolves also... Personally, I would prefer something different for hostile wolves..
