Wolves are not dangerous.
There is no documented report of a healthy wolf ever
attacking a person. On the other hand, an estimated
20 deaths each year are caused by dog attacks in the
US.
Wolves once lived in all 50 states.
They were exterminated primarily by ranchers
and farmers. They now exist in abundance in the U.S.
only in Alaska and Minnesota. Due to reintroduction
programs, wolves now live in limited numbers in Arizona,
Idaho, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. Reintroduction programs are being
considered in the Adirondack region of New York and
other areas in the east, as well as other parts of the
US.
Wolves range in weight from 60 to 110 lb.
Wolves live 8 to 12 years.
