Thus the wolf is not always timid and will attack humans.

I would REALLY like to see your source for this statement. Come on, a
400 strong pack of wolves? Only if they are the size of rabbits, wolves require a very large land area to support them and a 400 member wolf pack is impossible. I'll also point out that attacks on humans by truly wild wolves in North America are not just rare, they are nearly unheard of. Wolves are "shy" for good reasons, one of them being that they've learned that Humans are quite deadly, the second is that it can take as much as 15-20 square miles to support just ONE wolf.
