The wolf in Crimea was first discovered in modern history in 2005, the animals came from Kherson region. Since then, their population has been formed on the peninsula. Most of the predator lives in the steppe zone of Crimea, especially in places with a low population density. The wolf was noticed by people as one by one, and in small flocks, by ten or more individuals.
