A young wolf was on Friday hit and killed by a train in Tjörnarp north east of Höör in Skåne.
The accident occurred late at night. The animal has been sent to the National Veterinary Institute (SVA) for DNA analysis, reports the local news media.
The dead wolf is probably one of two wolves in recent days observed in Skåne, one in Söderslätt in the southwest and the other in Lönsboda in the northeast.
Bertil Nilsson, predators officer at the County Administrative Board of Skåne, believes that more wolves will show up in Skåne, in line with the Swedish wolf population growth. Right now there are between 300 and 400 wolves in the country.
