The wolf is not a random animal. It's a big predator associated in popular culture with aggression and dominance, e.g "a wolf in sheep's clothes", "the wolf of wall street", etc.

Both of those describe deceivers (though the latter may not originally have), not aggressors or dominators.

Given humanity’s long history of antagonism towards wolves, it is a very strange animal after which to choose to model one’s own behavior.
