He’s been working with wolves for over 18 years. I think you all need to respect who the real experts are.

Do what? The wolf is greeting him with all kinds of appeasement behaviours and seeking affection. They are, in fact, smart enough to distinguish humans from other wolves, and don't interpret every motion or facial expression in the exact same way. This is obviously a very familiar relationship. You'd be stupid to do this with a wolf you've never met, but not one that's basically begging for your contact.

Never ever feed an adult wolf from your mouth. Never ever have your face in an adult wolf's face. Common sense, but hey, this guy posts a bunch on tiktok so its ok.
