Wolf Identified in Germany In 2016

 I was asked about the time I was asked by a German radio station if I could identify two possible wolves photographed. Apparently there was some doubt. It was in 21016 and here is the post:

Two photos have emerged of "possible" wolves in the German countryside.

I actually learnt about these by checking out the Face Book page of Radio SAW -the German radio station I listen to while working.

The first of a "wolf" walking toward the photographer near Schartau bei Burg looks like an Alaskan Malmute to me.


 Below -the wolf photo

 Here is an Alaskan Malmute -head shape and colouring...?



The second the photo, taken at Krina in Kreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld is not great and could be a manged fox or, possibly, a Saarloos wolfdog?

And a Saarloos Wolfdog



Checking with the UK Wolf Conservation Trust to see if they agree (they see wolves on a daily basis)

And the response from the UK Wolf Conservation Trust is:

Hi Terry, The bottom picture is a wolf. The Top picture is quite poor quality & more likely to be a malumute. Thank you for sharing"

So,  Krina in Kreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld has a wolf. Just do NOT panic and go hunting it. Leave it alone.
