Generally speaking, wolves have been seen to be unfriendly and as such have been the subject of lots of brutal attacks by humans and all this is largely attributed to the general misinformation that we’ve had about them over the past. In as much as this is the case, the fact is that all these are all but misleading information and can best be said to be lies created from the scenes of the movies. We will be making such a deliberate attempt in this post to get some of the basic facts, fun facts, that you need to know about wolves so as to get to accept them and appreciate them as an essential part of the natural ecosystem.
The first of the commonly propagated of the myths on wolves is that they happen to be so deadly and fatal animals who only cause such a menace to the human society. Wolves are actually not as fatal and do not just kill for the fun there may be thought to be in it for them. The truth you need to know is that wolves will never attack unless they have been so provoked to attack. By and large, if stats were allowed to speak, you would even realize that wolf attacks, the fatal wolf attacks, are by far and large much lower in numbers as compared to the attacks from some of the domestic animals we have in the homes like dogs.
The social bonds often created and developed by wolves is another aspect of a fact that you need to know about wolves. Wolves have been known to be so good at showing affection to their loved ones and family members even going all the way to laying their own lives for the sake of getting to protect the family unit.
One of the wolf species that has been the object of lots of atrocities and brutalities from man has been the grey wolf. The saddening thing is that this grey wolf is one that has not done a thing to warrant such treatment. What we see in all this is that this is an animal that is suffering as a villain of the fables and fairy tales that we have heard and held on to for years now without us never taking stock of the unique attributes about this highly intelligent and sociable animal. As a result of this, we have seen such a high number of us live in fear of the grey wolf that has as such made them be an object of much persecution than that meted on any other animal. Looking at the much persecution there has been meted on the grey wolf, you may wonder what it is that has kept it from extinction and this is largely attributed to its high intelligence.
