A new paper by MRI PAS researchers in Current Biology:
Wolves and their prey all fear the human “super predator”
• Fear of humans in wolves and their prey was tested in an unprecedented experiment
• Fear of humans prevails in wolves and their ungulate prey, trapping all in the dark
• Even where legally protected, the big bad wolf fears the human ‘‘super predator’
An article with an overview of these dicoveries has been published in New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/science/wolves-humans-fear-study.html
