Jasper the Wolverine | America the Wild: Wolverine King

The Wolverines are comfortable with high pitched voices, as sounds like Wolverine sounds. He was trying to build a bond and gain Jasper's trust hence he needed to speak in Jasper's language which is higher pitched noises. Love animals so intelligent, and emotional.

The depth of devotion to this beautiful creature that Steve has. Such elation. Thank you Steve for all your hard work 24 7 we notice. Keep on keeping on.

I had no idea it was possible to interact with Wolverines on this level. It goes to show how little we know about some species of wildlife.

looks like a bear mixed with a dog, beautiful animal

[krakatoa]

Wolverines are awesome animals, will have a go at anything.

People saying that Casey is stupid for making the voice, you're the real idiot. The guy even said to Casey that Jasper will respons better to a more high pitched friendly sounding voice, as most intellectual animals (like us) do.

That 'comfort tone' sounds like a goose on helium.

Narrator- Hi Buddy!!! Hiii! What do you think???

Wolverine- I was not planning on harming you friend but your new voice now leaves me no choice..

[Nadamamasboy]

What a gorgeous animal! I've raised ferrets for years and would love one of these! No, not joking - I've always been the nut with the crazy animals lol!

[waveman]

never though you could domesticate such a animal as the wolverine. Jasper is a fascinating animal, truly a worthy companion to one who could earn his trust.

Ever since reading the marvel comic series "All-New Wolverine" and reading about Gabby's pet wolverine, Jonathan I have grown to love these animals!

[jameswarren]

What a beautiful animal to think that somethings so dangerous in the wild could be so sweet and loving when raised by a human truly amazing👍🏼🤩❤️

What a beautiful animal, thanks for sharing.

[eriknelson]

It goes to show you that with enough training and trust, a Wolverine can definitely soften up

[Filbi]

What a beautiful creature. It's like a weasel that's evolved to fill a niche similar to a bear.

Jasper sized up this nervous human animal and decided no threat so lets be friends.    

[joshuapoujade]

Canadians are so nice, they befriend wolverines.

[BeatboxMitchel]

Now i imagine a villain sweettalking his way to Wolverine in a high-pitched voice

[gregoriancatmonk]

Fairly straightforward tactic mimicking the what the wolverine is used to, like it's surrogate parents voice probably helped gain acceptance.

[oceans]

that is one powerful and beautiful animal!!
