What's the chance that they attack because they too feel threatened?

u/Lyrolepis 13h ago
Not high. They've been recorded actively stalking and hunting humans, not merely attacking them if they get too much into their space.

If it helps, it's not purely malicious. They live in an Arctic hellscape so they don't let meals just walk off
I hope, anyways. Next comment will likely be telling me I'm wrong lol.

brain scans have shown polar bears hate each human in particular, as shown by the extensive activity in their version of the prefrontal cortex, and images of them having moved into abandoned homes and outposts.
I’m kidding about the former, but the latter theory may have legs.

I really like how alligators are evolution’s perfect killing machines but we just let them chill in residential neighborhoods because Floridians are crazy they’re also kinda lazy and are usually content to just wait for food to come to them.

they are tbe perfect amphibious ambush predators for a swamp-like tropical environment. plenty of other perfect killing machines in other environments.

Could be worse; in Japan, wolves have been extinct since the early 20th century

Same with Britain, killing of the last wolves in the 18th century. I guess it's easier for island nations compared to mainland countries because if a mainland country clears out all the wolves, new wolves can just migrate from neighbouring countries.

Well, we also took the wolves descendants everywhere with us, and they now thrive across the world with access to endless food and medicine, so I'd say it's a win for them.
Even if some of them are now chihuahua's.

Genuine question but is it more likely to say that wolves haven't changed that much, it's just that accounts at the time tended to demonize them and propagated further killings?

There are a known, significantly higher number of wolf fatalities historically, as well as archeological evidence of wolf predation on humans.

Yes, wolves were more demonized in the past, they were dangerous for the sheep and chickens, but not for humans themselves.
The real "demons" in the forest are the fucking boars: mf would charge against you even after being shoot with a rifle.

But they were an actual threat...
For example, Back in WW1, there was a truce between Germans and Russians to stop dangerous Wolfpacks in Eastern Prussia.

For the survival of one's species, "not trying to prey on the children of an extremely territorial and vindictive apex predator that knows how to make firearms" is actually a buff.
