Wolves are one of those animals that have had to combat their perceived bad reputation for a long time. People often fear them, thinking they’re a threat when actually the opposite is true. Wolves tend to fear humans and run away when they come across them. Yet when you look at popular stories like Little Red Riding Hood or The Three Little Pigs, the wolf is portrayed as the villain.
In this video on wolves, we take a trip to the Wolf Education and Research Center to chat with the biologist, Jeremy Heft, who was in charge of taking care of both of the Sawtooth Pack: Wolves of the Nez Perce and the Owyhee Pack.
He discusses:
- The stories behind wolves and dispels the myths
- How wolves actually react to humans
- The truth about wolves attacking humans
- What it would take for humans and wolves to live in harmony together
