Can a wolf kill an adult human?

While wolf attacks on humans are extremely rare, they can occur under specific circumstances, such as when wolves are rabid, habituated to humans, or protecting their territory or young. Generally, wolves tend to avoid humans and are more likely to flee than confront them. However, in a situation where a wolf felt threatened or cornered, it could potentially harm or kill an adult human. Overall, such incidents are uncommon and not representative of wolf behavior.
