Researchers in Aarhus have found evidence that a wolf has settled in Denmark. In a confined area in the middle of Jutland fresh droppings from the same female have been found within a six months interval. The question now is whether she will also attract a male.
So far, wolves wandered in and out of Jutland, but, as far as known, no one ever became resident.
“Wolf males have been travelling through Jutland, but the lack of ladies, they trudged on to Germany or Poland,” says Thomas Secher Jensen at the Natural History Museum in Aarhus to the news agency Ritzau.
The wolf female’s occupancy will probably lead the wolf to eventually to establishe itself properly in Denmark. It is enough that a few males and females encounter one another. In the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein immediately south of Denmark there is already a well-established wolf population.
