Are wolves maneaters?

Man Eater?
Contrary to popular belief, ®wolves¯ are not dangerous to ®people¯. The Superior National Forest of Minnesota has always been home for two hundred to four hundred ®wolves¯. Some nineteen million visitor-days have been logged in there, yet not a single soul has been a victim of ®wolf¯ predation.
There are several cases of wolves in other areas of North America possibly attacking people. One involved a scientist trying to break up a fight between a wolf and his sled ®dogs¯; the man ended up with a torn arm when he tried to grab the wolf by the back of the neck. In Minnesota, a wolf apparently mistook a deer-scent-soaked hunter for a deer and knocked him over. When the wolf realized its mistake, it fled. There have been a few similar events.
If a single ®wolf¯, or a pack, wanted to kill someone, it could probably do so without trouble. When killing ®prey¯, wolves are swift and silent. Wolves, though, are so afraid of ®man¯ that in one incident they wouldn't even cross over snowshoe tracks.
