Do wild wolves kill people?
Wolves have potential to kill people because they are large animals who prey on big, speedy, weighty creatures like bison and musk oxen. So will Highland residents and hill walkers be safe among wolves? The first comprehensive and detailed report of attacks by wild wolves on humans in Europe, Asia and North America has now been published (Linnell et al 2002). The report’s eighteen researchers reviewed the most reliable records they could find, written in 13 languages and dating from the 16th century to the present.
