Wolf attacks are rare, so they might not be deadly if you be gentle with them. But they are wild animals, so if your planning to meet a Grey Wolf, then be careful. They live in packs, so if they do attack, then multiple of them will strike, so it may be fatal. But they do not eat human corpses though, so they will not hunt you.

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is the godfather the world's domestic dogs and its wolves. Though numerous wolves exist throughout the world, these animals constitute subspecies of the gray wolf, not unique species of animals. Similarly, all domestic dogs, from pugs to St. Bernards, originated in the gray wolf bloodline. Wild gray wolves possess a number of unique adaptations that help them survive under harsh conditions such as food scarcity, howling winds, deep snow and extreme cold.
How do wolves capture their prey?
In a pack, quietly, they search for prey and they sneak up one they have spotted for their next meal. They circle it and leap. If it gets away, then they chase it for miles until it gets tired. Then they strike. The alpha eats first.
Usually, in a pack format.
Wolves hunt in packs, often running the prey down by taking turns chasing it, as in relays.They are evolved for the chase, not as ambush hunters like cats.
What is the best type of wolf?
Well, I really guess that depends on who you are and what you consider 'best'. There are six different species of wolves:
the Gray Wolf (which is by far the most common and lives all over the world)
the Red Wolf (a highly endangered species and somewhat smaller than the Gray Wolf)
the Eastern Wolf
the Ethiopian Wolf
the Himalayan Wolf
the Maned Wolf
Sorry, I don't know much about the other four. But now that you have the names, you can certainly look them up and get all the info that you need to figure out which one you think is the best. But personally, I think that the gray wolf is the best, because they are found all over the world!
I hope that helped!

They hunt in packs
Wolves may hunt singly or form packs that work together to rout or their ambush prey. Wolves mostly prey on rabbits, rodents, and birds, and often go after old or young animals that are weak and easier to capture. When no live prey is available, they will also feed on dead animals, insects, and berries.
They hunt their food by watching every move, and being careful that the prey doesn't see them. They hunt deer, raccoon, rabbit, and rodents. It is pretty easy to catch a rabbit or a rodent if they run faster than them.
Wolves get their food by hunting animals like deer or elk. The wolves hunt together and do it by strategy, taking out the prey together.
The hunt as a pack. They work together to panic a herd of elk (the prey i'm using for this answer) and make them run and seperate. They section off a young, injured or old one and they bite. They go for the throat with their teeth to kill it. They drag it down on to the floor and finish it off.

How many babies can gray wolves have offspring?
A gray wolf can have 1-6 pups in one litter but the average is 5-6 pups. Females can have only one litter for the year, since their breeding season lasts from late winter and into early spring. Following on that, a wolf doesn't turn sterile like human females in later ages so females can rear wolf pups until they die.
less then 10years
In the wild wolves have a lower chance of survival that is less than 10 years. In captivity they are able to live up to 20 years because they are no longer being hunted and declared a threat.
