The gray wolf is the subject of movies.
Wolves are often infested with a variety of arthropod exoparasites, including fleas, ticks, lice, and mites
 However, deliberate human persecution because of livestock predation and fear of attacks on humans has reduced the wolf's range to about one-third of its historic range; the wolf is now extirpated (locally extinct) from much of its range in Western Europe, the United States and Mexico, and completely in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Japan
