My latest WIP will prominently feature a pack of wolves who hunt and repeatedly attack the protagonists. Granted, these particular wolves are being controlled by a vampire so one can expect them to act unusually, but I'd still like to get some general wolf-facts right.
*For starters, how smart are wolves and how do their hunting tactics work? Could one of them act as a distraction while the rest of the pack flanks the prey?
*Human vs wolf. How strong are they? If a man gets a hold of a wolf, does he stand a reasonable chance of wrestling it down and maybe killing it with a knife?
*If a wolf takes a significant injury is it more likely to flee, or to frenzy and keep on fighting?
*How is their endurance for long-term hunting/fighting?
*How strong is the bite? If a wolf gets a good grip on a man's arm, what's going to happen?
