 One of the recent Meateater podcasts has a segment on aggressive wolf behavior during the war.

WW1 on The Eastern Front-Where Wolves Attacked Soldier
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/germans-and-russians-wwi.html

At first, packs of wolves attacked lonely victims, but soon they grew bolder and began to attack groups of soldiers.

During one of the battles, the Russian and German scouts saw that a large pack of hungry wolves had attacked and were eating the wounded soldiers. Seeing what was happening, the opponents immediately stopped the fight and jointly began to kill the predators.

The wolf attacks did not end there but were repeated at the most inappropriate moments. The soldiers tried their best to kill the fearless and hungry animals. There were repeated attempts to poison the wolves or kill them with rifles, machine guns, and even grenades.

However, such efforts were only temporary and did not stop the attacks. The number of wolves was so great that new ones came in place of those killed every time. In addition, large Russian wolves are known for their aggressiveness which was, at that time, bolstered by hunger.

Based on the current situation, the commanders of the German and Russian armies were forced to announce a temporary truce and join forces to fight the wolves.

The portion about new wolves filling voids and not changing behavior with hunting pressure should be noted for our growing wolf population

If you talk to the liberal tree huggers about wolf aggression towards humans, you would get farther ahead by talking to the rear tire on your pick up truck.

There will always be aggressive predators lurking in the woods...lions, grizzlies, wolves...just a fact of life.  Don't see this as all that newsworthy.

I agree at this moment in time, more cats and bear attacks than wolves.

But history tells us the possibilities
