The Wolves at Caradhras

Some thoughts form elsewhere.

Any thoughts about the nature of the wolves that attacked the Fellowship soon after their attempted crossing at the Redhorn Gate?

we are specifically told that No trace of the fight remained but the charred trees and the arrows of Legolas lying on the hill-top. No blood, no severed heads, etc.

In addition; the battle took place on top of a small hill and many kills were made at close quarters by the likes of Aragorn/Boromir/Gimli. Body parts would have been strewn all around them, and since the Fellowship remained on the hill all night, they would have heard or seen something if other forces came and removed the bodies physically.

Spirits? sent by Saruman? an answerless puzzle?
