A 160 lb Timberwolf ain’t a coyote.
Thay would be the largest timber wolf ever by a lot

They average 70-80 lbs for a large male

A timber wolf is actually a grey wolf mixed with coyote…..hence why they are small . They are far more coyote like than what the typical person thinks of as a wolf (grey wolf)

Offer him an arm? So he can puncture and tear an artery?

No goofy, you pull the arm away and grab his throat. This is a standard procedure for handling a canine. It’s easily done up to a point. The difficult thing with a big dog or wolf is to be able to hang onto his throat while lifting with enough force to keep his front legs off the ground and most of his weight off of his back legs.

The animal will use his front legs to keep you at a distance, so you won’t be able to hold him up for long. That means you have to quickly get him up against a wall or tree so you can use that friction to help.

A “big timberwolf” usually refers to an adult gray wolf (often called a timber wolf in North America). Their size can vary by region, but the largest individuals are impressive: * Weight: typically 80–120 lbs (36–54 kg), but big males can reach 130–150+ lbs (59–68+ kg) * Length: about 5–6.5 feet (1.5–2 m) from nose to tail * Height: around 26–32 inches (66–81 cm) at the shoulder

I think he is focusing on the Eastern wolf which is sometimes just called a timber wolf, but there are multiple sub species of wolves that are also called timber wolves.

quote:

Timber wolf, timberwolf, timber wolves, or timberwolves might refer to any of several subspecies of Canis lupus, which inhabits forested areas, especially:

Eastern wolf, also known as the timber wolf, Algonquin wolf, or eastern timber wolf,

Northern Rocky Mountain wolf, a timber wolf that inhabits the northern Rocky Mountains

Northwestern wolf, also known as the Mackenzie Valley wolf, Alaskan timber wolf, Canadian timber wolf, or northern timber wolf

Hadaka jime would give a huge advantage. The wolf would likely be unconscious after 20 - 30 seconds of struggle.

Ah, but could you choke out Huey Lewis if you had a head-start?

Because that would be News to me.
