There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

ANOTHER WOLF HIT BY A CAR IN THE NETHERLANDS

A wolf was hit by a car close to the German border. Happened today (November 13, 2017). It was a 3-year old male. The man who took the photograph was struck by its length (at least 120 cm., most probably for head and body only) and the size of the teeth (much larger than in a dog of similar size). Compared to his Labrador, the wolf was a giant.

Some regios in the east of the Netherlands have patches of forest, deer and wild boars. Not too bad for a lone wolf, but a pack would struggle. The conditions in the Oostvaardersplassen (in the west of the country, close to Amsterdam) are better (more potential prey animals, no roads and a decent size), but in order to get there, wolves need to cross many roads.

In combination with other articles I read this year, one can conclude that wolves from Germany (in the east) apparently move west quite often. It's a recent thing. Ten years ago, reports about wolves were few and far between.          

The article is in Dutch:
