This is the viral moment a man films himself feeding a wolf in the wild and promises to feed the animal again the next day shortly before he stopped posting anything – causing online debate about whether he might have ended up as a wolf’s dinner himself.
The Youtuber ‘Alex Cor’ posted two videos of his encounter with the wolf at an unspecified location in Kazakhstan which have been viewed 1.3 million and 300,000 times respectively on YouTube.
However, local media said the man has not posted anything online ever since the viral videos from 2018 and netizens have speculated that he was possibly eaten by the hungry wolf.

The footage shows the man feeding a large wolf in the snow, as the hungry animal continually approaches him for more meat.
At one point, the man seemed slightly intimidated and felt the wolf was growing more aggressive.
The second video shows him driving away from the wolf with the wild animal following him.
It is unclear whether his disappearance was ever reported to the local police.
Netizen ‘AzOt’ said: “He hasn’t posted anything in over a year, seems that he must have been devoured by this wolf.”
‘Evgenmsk 777’ commented: “Oh my God, he turned his back on a hungry wolf. This is scary.”
‘IrinaF’ added: “Dear author of this video, are you still alive?”
