How are wolves described?

Wolves are often described as a dog (obviously) that is mean and vicious. Although, that isn't entirely true. You may have heard about the Big Bad Wolf in The Three Little Pigs or Little Red Riding Hood but that's not really how wolves are. They are misunderstood creatures. Really, if a human encountered a wolf, wolves only attack if they feel threatened. For instance, they'd feel threatened if you tried to touch them or capture them.
