Top 10 Animals Most People Are Scared Of

Wolf

The big bad wolf – they don’t get an especially good rep in fairy tales. When they howl at the moon on a spooky night, you might get shivers right down your spine. And then there’s the werewolf, a human that turns into a wolf at the full moon. Thankfully, they’re not real!

Wolves hunt at up to 40 mph (65 km/h), corner large prey together and kill by biting the flanks, neck and throat. But they don’t hunt for humans.

Are Wolves Dangerous?

There isn’t one single official report of a healthy wolf attacking a human for food. But if a wolf is injured or can’t back off, it will defend itself.
