Could a wolf kill a person?

Answer 1

It hardly ever happens, but since coyotes have killed humans on occasion and wolves are larger and more fierce, they can more than likely kill humans as well

Actually, there have been NO documented killings by wolves. Like any large carnivore, they definitely have the means to kill a human... they can bring down moose. Usually, though, they like to stay away from humans as much as possible except for occasionally killing livestock.

Answer 3

It's possible, but since there are really no known cases of a healthy wolf killing a man, it's not likely. Men kill more wolves than wolves kill men.

Answer 2:Yes. A pack of wolves can eat a human in less than 3 minutes. Answer 3:Yes, because a wolf can tear apart the unarmed man with ease if the man does not do anything to save himself. If the man has a rifle or a sharp, large knife with him, the man would kill the wolf with ease.
