Wolves – most amazing animals in the world, from the USA convinced zoologist David Mach. Canis Lupus – under that name known wolves in the scientific world. Wolves did not leave his master even during his stay in the host people’s homes, so wolves in Scandinavia are revered as “God’s wanderers».

The idea that wolves constantly attack people is wrong. In fact, these animals are dangerous to humans only in exceptional cases. It is extremely rare cases are wolves attacking people.
Over the years, the study of wolves more than once surprised Sword. Most strongly, he was amazed when badly wounded wolf attacked him familiar flock. Later, the wolf is dead. “It was amazing to see the consequences of an attack near the wolves that used to be so friendly to his friend – although in the past I have seen similar scenes from the air” – told BBC Earth scientist.
It is also not a little surprised when yearling wolf deliberately did not kill a rabbit caught and carried him cub.
Nowadays control rabid animals in a special group of zoologists performed much better than it did 30 years ago, says the expert. So now extremely rare cases are wolves attacking humans. They often attack the cloven-hoofed animals. That and mostly potential victims of these graceful and bloodthirsty animals become weakened due to illness or injury animals.
In most cases, even a large flock of 6-7 animals, choosing weakened or diseased sacrifice for hunting. Based on this, the person is too strong for them hunted. Proof of this trend is the fact that the number of wolves is greatly reduced in recent years.
The most common injury of human activity brings wandering lone wolf, who was kicked out of the pack – the alpha male. These lone wolves of hunger are quite capable to attack the person.
In the cultures of different peoples, these predators are represented in different guises. For example, in the mythology of the Nordic peoples of its main deity – Odin, always accompanied by a pair of wolves – Freki and Gehry.
Wolf – one of the largest modern animals in his family: his body length (excluding tail) can reach 160 cm, tail length – 52 cm, height at the withers – 90 cm; body weight can reach up to 80 kg.
Based on his 50 years of experience Dr. Sword identifies five little-known facts about these predators:
1. Wolves territory controlled size dependent on the amount of production thereon. Territory habitat of the wolf pack may vary from fifty square kilometers to several hundred, if production on it a bit. Choral howling pack – is one way to warn other wolves that this area is off limits.
2. These animals pose a risk to humans only in exceptional cases. In most places, wolves people, on the contrary, do prey on them and put them on the trap.
3. Wolves prefer to prey on the weak animals – the old, the very young, starving, injured or sick.
4. These predators are not particularly reduce livestock production on their territory. However, in unusual circumstances (a few cold winters, prolonged drought or decrease in the area), they can reduce the number of local living creatures or even destroy it completely.
5. The more production, the more numerous may be the wolf population.
