Top 5 myths about wolves debunked by scientists

Myth 1: Wolves are bloodthirsty killers.

Wolves are actually quite shy animals that prefer to avoid people. They are not apex predators, meaning they are preyed upon by other animals such as bears and cougars. Wolves usually only kill what they need for food, and they often forage for carrion rather than hunting live prey.

Myth 2: Wolves are a threat to livestock.

Although wolves sometimes kill livestock, they are not the main cause of livestock losses. In fact, wolves can actually help control deer populations, which can be a problem for livestock owners.
