He may have been a 'disperser' (a young male wolf who leaves the pack to strike out on his own...hopefully to form his own pack. Well that's the plan anyway.)
But this wolf got it all wrong. The fact that he was thin suggests he couldn't find enough small wildlife to eat. A single wolf couldn't hunt anything bigger. What caused that we don't know.
I do feel kind of sorry for the wolf, and what happened to him in the end. But the lady had to do something to protect herself and her dog. She was very brave and quick witted.
