.
Karim Daoud, director of the Regional Wildlife Monitoring Laboratory (LRSFS), confirms this.
It was he who carried out the autopsy of the remains and he is almost formal about his conclusions: “I am 99% sure of it”.
The remaining 1% will be added after receiving the results of the genetic analyses.

Ongoing genetic analyzes
The autopsy already speaks for itself: the dentition "with consequent fangs", "rounded ears and smaller than those of a dog", singular pads, a shorter tail, a specific coat, and a "peculiar" smell.
Everything points to the wolf.
The 4 or 5 year old animal died of several fractures and hemorrhages after being hit by a vehicle.
It could be a wolf from Eastern countries.
Genetic analysis will reveal whether he comes from the Italo-Alpine or German-Polish line.
