The wolf was equipped with a GPS transmitter in Norway and after roaming back and forth across the border, it appears to have settled in an area between Mora and the Norwegian border.
- As we can see, it has also established a territory and we have information that two wolves are moving together, says Ellinor Theorin, wildlife manager at the Dalarna County Administrative Board, to Siljan News.
The new territory has been named Ryssflon and information has also been sent out to hunters participating in the elk hunt. Even animal owners can, via the transmitter, keep track of where the wolf is located, since it previously attacked sheep in the area.
- That it is the same male is shown by a saliva sample that could be taken from one of the sheep, says Ellinor Theorin.
A requested protective hunt was rejected due to the wolf contributing valuable genes to the strongly inbred wolf population in Sweden and Norway.
