Lois Crisler, wrote about a "black wolf stood by her first patch of newly-opened dark-pink daisies, acquainting herself with them. She brushed her nose across them, raised her paw and touched them...A wolf's curiosity is impersonal. It goes beyond food and fear."
Bradford Angier, states that a wolf's curiosity "will sometimes lead to close investigations especially during protective darkness, and this has stimulated some of the tales about wolves trailing individuals with the alleged motive of eventually attacking." There is no documented evidence of any healthy wolf attacking a human in North American.
A report in northern British Columbia in the winter of 1993 told of two hunters who found that they were being followed by a small lone wolf. The wolf was very calm and showed no aggressive tendencies, but the men panicked and shot it. The body was taken to the local conservation officer and they were not charged. One week later, a provincial news magazine described the incident under the headline "Wolf Attack Near Chetwynd."
