Wolves

Wolves (Canis lupus) are actually large canines native to Eurasia and North America. They are the largest extant members of Canidae, and males can weigh about 40 kg (88 lb) and females approx. 37 kg (82 lb). Wolves are closely related to the coyote and the golden jackal.

As you probably already know, the wolf is mainly carnivorous creatures that feed on large wild hooved mammals, as well as smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage.

Generally, wolf attacks on humans are rare, because there are fewer and fewer wolves and they actually hide from people. However, if you see one, you should avoid interacting with them because they can attack you if they feel threatened. In addition, adult gray wolf males in North America can weigh up to 100 pounds, which means that they are capable of hunting large prey as well.
