More
than a hundred years after Germany's "last wolf" was shot and
killed by hunters, naturalists in Berlin have reasons to rejoice: they
have sighted a pack of wild wolves and cubs just outside Berlin.
The German office of the World Wildlife Fund said yesterday that farmers
had alerted its field workers to the existence a wolf pack which appeared
to have moved into a deserted former Soviet army military exercise area
near the village of Sperenberg south of Berlin. [...]
The discovery of wolves living and apparently breeding so close to
a large urban conurbation like Berlin is the first since German reunification
in 1990. But Mr Arnold said the areas of largely uninhabited forest
in the surrounding state of Brandenburg and plenty of deer and wild
boar were decisive factors.
