Baden-Württemberg: Wolf injured calf in the district of Waldshut

Ibach (dpa / lsw) - A sedentary wolf injured a two and a half month old calf in Ibach (Waldshut district) on the club. This was announced by the Ministry of the Environment on Wednesday, citing the Forestry Experimental and Research Institute in Freiburg. An analysis of the genetic material showed that the wolf was the male with the designation GW1129m. The injuries to the calf were discovered at the end of July and it was slightly wounded.

The municipality of Ibach lies within a so-called wolf prevention support area in the Black Forest, where three other wolf males are settled. Within such a support area, the state supports animal owners in the purchase and maintenance of pasture fences and livestock guardian dogs. According to the Nabu nature conservation association, the wolf GW1129m has been on the move in the southern Black Forest since 2019. According to the information, he comes from a pack in Lower Saxony.
