Have you heard of the big bad wolf? Ever been told stories about wolves eating children, or told “Don’t cry wolf”?
These fairytales make wolves out to be scary beasts, but in reality, they are far from evil! The number of wild wolf attacks is very low. In fact, wolves would rather avoid humans completely.
Where did these myths come from? They started at a time when wolf populations were in conflict with farmers, who were angry because their sheep and cattle were being preyed on. Today, you can find these and many other stories about wolves, but which ones are true?

All true except for one!
I have no idea which one is false and which one is true plus I’m terrible at true or false and don’t know that much about wolves but I think the last two ones were right, one wolves howl at the moon two wolf pups, I mean, newborn wolves, cannot open their eyes until its past two weeks from their birth

Just so you know wolves don’t howl at the moon for sure
