To appear as someone harmless, when your actual intent is to do harm to those you need to take advantage of for personal, political or financial gain, etc. In the case of a wolf he must dress and act like a sheep to be accepted by them, then he can eat one easily enough. If he were to appear as himself, the sheep would flee making his meal harder to get.

What does the idiom a wolf in sheeps clothing mean?

It is from a short story by Aesop. The summary of the story is that a wolf wanted to get at the sheep but because of the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. One day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt so it could blend in and not get caught. The lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the wolf was wearing, began to follow the wolf in the sheep's clothing. Managing to lead the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her. The wolf continued to succeed in deceiving the sheep, and enjoyed hearty meals. The moral of the story (and the meaning of the idiom) is that looks can be deceptive.
