There is not.
There is a subspecies of lion called the Tsavo lion which are more aggressive and are in more documented attacks than other lion types. They have more testosterone than other lions and are maneless and more violent as a result. There is no man-eating tiger subspecies.
All predators and some herbivores have, can, and will attack humans and eat them. Even elephants and hippos. Even chimpanzees.
Fun fact: Hippos kill more people every year than crocodiles do.
The incidences of healthy wild wolves attacking people in North America are absurdly rare. Wolves don't just worry about what they can hunt using the least energy. They also worry about getting injured, because an injured wolf can no longer hunt and that means starvation. That's why they avoid eating unfamiliar animals, they don't know how to properly hunt it and what kind of damage it can do. That's the reason putting llamas out in a field of sheep deters wolves and coyotes. They llamas act aggressive, and the wolves don't know what on earth it is and look for safer food. There's a similar dynamic with people.

I, starfred24, will dedicate myself to helping wolves have a better future. I swear to give my all in protecting these beautiful creatures, and will help in anyway I can. And help I will for wolves are my favourite animal and I hate to see them endangered
welcome to our cave of rock and stone,
this is where we call home,
the mist swirls as night draws in,
together as one, we are kin,
we will not give without a fight,
hide in the shadows, black as night,
every crack, every fold,
we are the tribe of forgotten worlds.
