The Grey

Whenever somebody in the movies gets trapped in the woods (usually during winter), a pack of wolves tries to eat them.

 

Now I'm no wildlife expert, but I know that humans aren't a wolf's natural prey, and also that wolves are intelligent enough to know that humans are dangerous. So wouldn't a wolf only hunt a man if it was near starving? Just conjecture. (and yes, I know movies are rarely accurate in their depiction of anything)

It's not unheard of. I can think of at least one instance during the Yukon gold rush of wolves attacking someone.

 

And it's not that humans are dangerous, as much as we smell really really bad.
