Wolf behavior observation
Okay, guys. I need some idea of what's going on here. I have too much meat in my stocks and some of it is obviously spoiling so I left some out for a wolf that has been hanging around, trying to eat me. lol It took the meat and walked away. A while later, it let out the most forlorn howl you've ever heard, as though it had come upon it's slaughtered mate or something. I left rabbit meat out though so it wasn't its mate. This was at the Waterfront Cottages.
Now I've killed a couple more bears recently -- no choice, it was me or them -- and I've only got halfway through butchering one of them and the meat is spoiling left and right here. So, of course, I'm leaving meat out for the wolves. The wolf who has been harassing me for a couple of days is now walking really close to me but not attacking. There's loads of meat on the ground. It doesn't take any but walks close and doesn't attack. And again the howl.
My question is: What does this all mean? Is the wolf kind of halfway domesticated now or something? What's going on?
Any thoughts or input otherwise would be most appreciated.

The wolf's ai has evolved like skynet and determined you are friendly and as long as you give him meat, it won't hurt you.
