Wolf Facts

• The grey wolf has been the notorious villain of fables and fairy stories for centuries, yet this highly intelligent and sociable animal has done little to warrant its terrifying reputation.
• Once widespread throughout North America, Europe and the Far East, the grey wolf is, sadly, now only found in large numbers in specific parts of the USSR, North America and Eastern Europe.
• The grey wolf has always been feared by man and has probably been persecuted more than any other animal. Did you know that centuries ago, wolves were ‘tried’ by people and burnt at the stake? However its intelligence and flexibility have saved it from extinction.
• Another reason for their decline has been the dramatic reduction of their natural prey.  This has largely been replaced by farm stock which is protected by the use of poison, traps and guns.  The final fate of wolves will depend on whether man is prepared to coexist with them.
