About Wolves and Other Large Animals

but we will focus on the biology, lifestyle, and possible habitat of this fascinating and controversial large predator. Meanwhile, single wolves have apparently become resident in Schleswig-Holstein and have already left clear traces along with other passing animals.

The area around Gudow, near the former state border, is frequently visited by wolves, so we will explore part of this region and discuss the complex relationships between wolves, humans, and livestock in the past and present. The A24 highway, which runs within hearing and sight range, reminds us of the challenges migratory animals generally face and some of the partial solutions available.
