== Wolves in the Bible ==
Wolves are mentioned several times in the [[Bible]], where they are typically used as examplars of savagery. When Jesus sends out the [[Apostles]], he says,
<blockquote>
''Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.'' Matthew 10:16 (KJV)
</blockquote>
and Isaiah prophesies the New Earth,
<blockquote>
''The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.'' Isaiah 65:25 (KJV)
