Bavaria Confirms Juvenile Wolves in Playground Video, Says Human Risk Is Low

Environmental authorities will keep Köschinger Forst designated as a wolf territory with slightly adjusted boundaries.

Overview

  • The district office confirmed the footage was recorded Thursday in Mendorf, a village in the Altmannstein municipality of Eichstätt county.
  • The state environment agency identified the animals as two juvenile wolves and assessed the danger to people as low.
  • Experts said the behavior shown is not unusual, noting wolves sometimes pass near villages or through dispersed settlements.
  • Local officials announced no immediate steps and said any measures would be coordinated with the environment agency if needed.
  • Deputy Minister-President Hubert Aiwanger shared the clip on X and backed calls for shooting, a stance tied to Bavaria’s legally disputed 2023 wolf regulation.
