Number of wolf attacks on a human per year?

Answer 1

Weeeell, there have actually been no documented attacks at all. But this is only because the criteria for an attack to be recorded are ludicrously strict. I don't know all of the requirements for they are plentiful but I know that there cannot have been a wolf hunt in place at the time because wolves hunting will likely attack someone who walks in the scene, the wolf must be killed and examined for illnesses such as rabies AND the victim must also have been killed.

Answer:
