Wolf Attacks On Humans
Wolf attacks are injuries to humans or their property by gray wolves. Their frequency varies based on the human and wolf populations and the interactions of these populations. Wolves, like any predator, choose prey based on circumstances. If a human is juvenile, small, alone or injured this increases the chance of a wolf attack as it would any prey species; a population of both wolves and humans living in the same environment increases the chances of a predatory circumstance occurring. Wolf attacks are rare where human wolf interactions are rare and escalate as human wolf interactions escalate. Experts categorize wolf attacks into various types, including rabies-infected, predatory, agonistic, and defensive. The country with the most extensive historical records is France, where nearly 10,000 fatal attacks were documented from 1200 to 1920.

This may include, for example, animals in farms, private homes, zoos, aquariums, public aquariums and laboratories. Animal captivity may be categorized according to the particular motives, objectives, and conditions of the confinement.

However, pets and livestock were not the only animals to be put in captivity and receive human care because wild animals had this as well.
