We have entered the realm of understanding. The wolf, a vastly misunderstood animal, has been misrepresented in old stories, ancient legends, as well as modern fiction stories and movies, as a bloodthirsty, dangerous creature. In contrast to these stories, it is interesting to learn that there is not one proven attack on humans by a wolf documented in North America. On the other hand, millions of wolves have been wiped out by humans. Life in the wild is not a movie.
Wild animals are neither good nor bad.
They have been shaped by evolution to take their place in the web of life, in a predator and prey relationship. Wolves do not kill for fun. They have no choice but to kill in order to survive. They cannot thrive on grass and twigs any more than man can. The wolves don't show despite our patience, yet we see a variety of other, equally interesting animals that normally would have blended perfectly into the landscape.
