Czech Republic: Wolves have been filmed crossing into the Czech Republic after having been absent for 100 years
A hidden camera has recorded a wolf in a wooded clearing following a
report by Radio Prague that signs of wolves have been found near the
town of Doksy. Wolves have not been found roaming in the area since the
19th Century.
Environmental expert Miroslav Kutal said that there is likely just
one or two wolves in the region. He added that it probably strayed into
Bohemia from Germany or Poland, where wolves have been thriving.
He told Radio Impuls that conditions in Bohemia, particularly in
former military zones and in mountainous border regions, appear good for
breeding. He said this should be encouraged since wolves can regulate
the deer population and draw tourists to the area. But he added that
poachers could become a concern.
