Research- Wolf attacks on humans

Although wolf attacks on humans do occur, their frequency varies with geographical locate and historical period. Wolf attacks are dangerous not only for the victims, but also the attackers, who are often subsequently killed or even extirpated in reaction. As a result, wolves today tend to live mostly far from people to have developed the tendency and ability to avoid them.

The country with most extensive historical records is France, where nearly 7,600 fatal attacks were documented in from 1200-1920.

In modern times, they occur most often in India and neighbouring countries. There are few historical records or modern cases of wolf attacks in North America. In the half-century up to 2002, there were eight fatal attacks in Europe and Russia, non in North America and more than 200 in south Asia. Experts categorise wolf attacks into various types including rabies-infected, predatory, agnostic and defensive.
