Many people associate the wolf as an evil creature, but that is from fairy tales and myths.
The wolf is probably the most feared and hated animal throughout history. But the case is that there are very few cases of wolves attacking humans. Maybe that's why this species is an endangered one, from people killing these creatures out of fear. Currently the status of the Gray Wolf is endangered. They are the largest in the dog family, which includes coyotes, jackals, wild dogs, foxes, and hyenas.
