Rune Håkansson is an inspector at the county administrative board in Kronoberg, he confirms after seeing the pictures of the wolf outside Markaryd that there is no doubt that it really is a wolf.
- It looks like a wolf, you can see it on the tail and its tip which is black and the white which is on both cheeks.
Looking for female
Today he can not say what the wolf, who is a male, is doing but one thing is certain: He is looking for a partner to form a wolf territory with.
Vargrevir is found both in Skåne and in Västra Götaland on the border with Jönköping County.
But wolves have been observed in several places in Kronoberg recently, including in Uråsa in Växjö municipality.
And a territory in Kronoberg can, if it does not already exist, be close to being formed, says Olof Liberg, associate professor of game ecology at SLU in Lund.
"Kronoberg most likely county for wolf establishment"
- It is closer today than it was just a few years ago.
It has started an expansion south in the wolf population and it may be because the wolf population is at the top right now the last year has been the best year for the wolf population in Sweden we have ever had and Kronoberg County is probably the most likely county for a wolf establishment, says Olof Liberg, associate professor of game ecology at SLU in Lund.
