Wolf causes excitement in Lower Austria: numerous sightings!
In the past few days, numerous wolf views in Lower Austria have caused excitement and discussions. The districts of Hollabrunn and Korneuburg, in which the wolf was spotted in several towns, are particularly affected. Photos and videos of the animal quickly spread on social networks. A striking sighting took place on Thursday afternoon, April 3, in Stockerau, where the wolf was filmed from about 50 to 70 meters away, while he approached an open insect protection grille without shyness.
A farmer in the ground held up for a momentary moment when the wolf appeared in a field right in front of him. Despite loud clapping, the animal continued its way and seemed little worrying. In the cities of Sennig and Kleinwilfersdorf in the Korneuburg district, there were similar sightings that were shared on social media. So far, there has been no great trouble on the presence of the wolf on site, reports Exxpress.at
reactions from the community
The mayor of Wullersdorf, Richard Hogl, said that there was currently no reason to worry. Nevertheless, he emphasized that the emergence of wolves in the region requires thoughts on surveillance and potential measures. Wolfgang Strobl, the district hunter of Hollabrunn, also confirmed that the animal viewed was a wolf and reported that reports have already been filed.
While some people initially suspected that it could be a wolfhound, experts pointed out that a wolf is actually traveling in the area. The farmers' association supported this assessment. Strobl recommended avoiding contact when encounters with wolves. Especially in dogs, it is advisable to pick up smaller animals and to calm them down, while caution should be exercised in larger animals.
the wolf population in Germany
The current situation in Lower Austria reflects a larger phenomenon that is also evident in Germany. There, the number of wolf views increases, especially in the federal states of Saxony, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This region is increasingly perceived as a retreat for wolves and is a result of successful nature conservation measures that have favored the growth of wolf population. wiltierwelt.de reports that these changes also bring about challenges, since the interaction between man and wolf is complex and is often shaped by fascination and fear.
The return of the wolves also requires strategies for coexistence with people. In Germany, too, it is important that farmers implement preventive measures such as the use of fences and herd protection dogs. Constant research and monitoring are crucial to minimize conflicts. The Federal Nature Conservation therefore regularly publishes data on the wolf deposits to continuously inform and clarify the population, supported by the Documentation and advisory center on Wolf (dbbw) .
In the monitoring year 2024/25, 52 known wolf territories were counted in Germany, including 44 packs and 120 puppies. These developments show that wolves are a key in the ecosystem that can promote both the ecological balance and biodiversity.
Overall, the discussion about wolves and its return to human habitats is an important topic. Education and education play a central role in enable harmonious coexistence between humans and animals.
