The wolf has established itself permanently in central and western Jutland and the number of wolves in Denmark is at an all-time high in modern times, according to the University of Aarhus.
After nearly 200 years of absence, the wolf re-immigrated to Denmark in 2012. More wolves have since come to Jutland from Germany and in 2017, the first Denmark-born wolf litter was registered. Since then, 13 litters with at least 84 pups have been born.
According to new calculations, there are now approximately 42 wolves distributed across nine fixed territories in Denmark. Following wolf attacks on sheep, the Danish government has repeatedly expressed that the number of wolves should be regulated.
