As wild wolves return to Europe, one of the first wolves to settle in Denmark has been shot dead in an incident captured on filmOne of the first wild wolves to roam free in Denmark for 200 years has been shot and killed, threatening the survival of the species in the country. Two naturalists who were observing the wolves captured the moment the animal was shot on camera. Wild wolves had not been seen in Denmark since 1813, but then in 2012 individual males were spotted in the countryside. Last year a young female wolf journeyed 500km from Germany to join male wolves, creating Denmark’s first functioning wolf pack for 200 years. Other species, like wild boars, pose threats to humans on a regular basis – unlike the wolf – but are still more tolerated.”
