SE: Wolves do not affect Swedish elk(moose) behaviors

Roughly translated by TWIN Observer

VÅLÅDALEN / TT

The wolf’s return to Central Sweden the last 20 years does not seem to have affected the prey animal behavior. According to researchers, studies indicate that the risk of a moose being killed by wolf is not connected to the moose population experiencing wolves.

“It may be a very long time before we will see a change in behavior. Perhaps the change may never come,” says wolf researcher Håkan Sand.

He points out that the human hunting over a long time has had a much greater impact than the wolves’ elk hunting.
