How do you defend yourself from a wolf attack?

Stand tall and make themselves look larger. Calmly but slowly back away and maintain eye contact. If the wolf does not run away immediately, continue making yourself large, keeping eye contact, and backing away. Do not turn your back on the wolf or run away.

Should you stare down a wolf?

Wolves are also “coursing predators,” meaning they like to take their prey on the run. So if you encounter a pack of wolves, do not run or they will chase you. Don't try to stare the wolves down. They regard eye contact as a challenge.

Are Wolves aggressive to humans?

From the small number of documented attacks, it can be concluded that the vast majority of wolves do not pose any threat to human safety. A person in wolf country has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting or a car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf.

What are wolves afraid of?

Wild wolves are afraid of humans and usually run away rather than be near people. Pet wolves, and wolf-dog hybrids, may be dangerous to humans because they are no longer afraid of humans. They may hunt small children or pets, who remind them of prey.
