Wolves are usually thought to be dangerous. This is a misconception in most cases, since wolves do not attack humans without reason. They are thought to be dangerous because of rumors claiming they get into people's livestock, killing sheep, cows, and any person they might run into. This idea is also fostered through myths. Wolves attack only when they feel their territory or young are being threatened. When they feel the need to attack whatever is threatening them, they will without hesitation. Percentiles for attacking or killing humans are low. Some wolves are endangered because they are shot and killed for their fur, 
or because people fear them. Humans kill more wolves every year than wolves attack humans. In fact, wolves try to isolate themselves from humans as much as possible. However, a wolf can get rabies and become more likely to attack someone, but that is a very rare occurrence. Humans are now beginning to breed wolves with other dogs, which is called a hybrid dog. A hybrid dog is supposedly better than an ordinary dog ,such as a retriever, because of innate senses found in wolves.
Life Span
Wolves usually live up to 20 years. They live longer in captivity, but rarely past the age of 25.
