Just a note that reporting on this wolf would’ve been a good opportunity to dispel myths about wolves.
Wolves do not prey on people and are by their nature shy. This is one thing that differentiates the wolf from the dog.
A human can walk right up to a wolf kill and the wolves will back away. Takaya once followed a family who went to Discovery Island despite restrictions because they had a dog.
He wasn’t stalking the family.
