Wolf Attacks

[Stealth Predator]

I've been trying to find some record of instances when wolves attacked a human and I haven't been able to come up with much, barely anything. I started looking after the subject kind of came up in another topic about a young boy being killed by a wolf in the United States.
Apparently, and not surprisingly, the only times a wolf attacks is when they are either Rabid or a human cornered them and it did it out of defense and provoked the wolf to attack.
It is more likely that you would get hit by lightning than to be attacked by a wolf, let alone killed.
The only time wolves have done "child snatching" is when they are in an urbun area and cannot find any food, and that basically doesn't happen because a normal wild wolf generally wants nothing to do with humans so they stay clear.

Seems to me that the most danger and attacks are when humans breed and keep wolf hybrids (A cross between a domestic dog and a wolf) and they have been known to be very unpredictable and dangerous.

Since I came up pretty much empty handed, feel free to see if you can get some record on wolf attacks.

have you done any research on coyote attacks? it seems there are more coyote attacks on humans than wolves. yet the wolf is seen to be the more threatening animal.

i have sighted a few coyotes near our very dense suburb and each time they have looked in my direction without running away. i have quickly taken my dog in the opposite direction for fear he's thinking of dinner.

if the wolves fear humans more, there have also been many instances where they have adopted human children into their packs when they were abandoned. i haven't heard of such with coyotes. wolves are indeed magical beasts!
