Wolves

Living in Central Ohio, I sometimes get to hear Coyotes barking in the evenings. But the first time I heard a wolf howl was at the Columbus Zoo. There was this eerie noise that I could not identify. But as we got nearer to the wolf exhibit, I knew what it was. I was excited to see the wolves in a pack howling melodically. No wonder our ancient ancestors domesticated this beautiful creature.

It's funny that wolves has such a stigma in our society. According to Wild Dogs by Erwin Bauer, there has not been a single documented case of a wolf attacking a human in North America since Europeans have been settling the Americas!

Actually there have been a couple of serious attacks recently. In one, the victim was killed:

In the other, the jogger was locked in hand to mouth combat with a wolf, when a mini-bus full of off shift oil workers came along the road, and thejumped out and fought the wolf off.
Give an infinite number of humans and an infinite number of wolves...and eventually somebody is going to get hurt.
