Werewolves

Hi all,
We've been looking at the Forbidden Forest recently, which gives me 
the opportunity to bring up something I have asked before, and not 
had much of a response on.

Are there werewolves in the FF?  Is it a myth, created to scare the 
Hogwarts students?  If so, why don't more of them have more common 
sense about this, because either:
There is a community of werewolves who live in the forest, all the 
time, whether they are wolf or human
or:
Werewolves apparate there at the time of the month so they are away 
from humans and are contained there.
or:
werewolves couldn't possibly be found in the FF if not one of the 
above.

Plausible?

Finally, do werewolf cubs exist?  Is the condition genetic?  Or is it 
only passed on by biting etc.???
