The article says (thank you Google translate...):
The last wild Danish wolf was shot in 1813. But photographs from the North of Denmark now suggest that the wolf is back in the Danish countryside, Morsø Folkeblad writes.
The wolf was seen in Hanstholm Reserve in Thy National Park, where scorner, Kim Frost from Nykøbing, took a series of pictures of the wolf. Kim Frost is even quite sure that there is a wolf. And naturally interested are now waiting in excitement to get it confirmed.
- It is very remarkable, and it looks good, but we should just wait until we have taken some DNA samples of stool or something similar, says ranger DD Morten Hansen to dr.dk and continues rapidly:
- If it keeps going this day be one we remember. The 9/11 for natural history. So we very much hope it holds, he said.
A matter of time
Three years ago there were reports that someone had seen a wolf in the south of Denmark. But it was never photographed. Wolves are in turn often observed south of the border . And that is precisely why it is not unlikely that the wolf has come to Denmark.
- It was only a matter of time, the wolf population south of the border is growing, and young wolves may wander far, explains Morten DD Hansen.
He explains that in Denmark we have abundant wildlife in the forests, but we need just an animal like the wolf:
- As long as we do not have the top-predator the goal is not complete. We also need the large predators, he said.
The wolf takes pets
And if it turns out to be a wolf, as scorner have seen, Morten Hansen DD is worried whether it will be allowed to live wild in Denmark.
- It takes the pets. Also sheep and dogs. It's a predator. So the good question is whether you are willing it, he says.
The wolf is not dangerous to humans.
