Overview

• Baden-Württemberg’s environment ministry says genetic tests verified a wolf as the attacker in both the Schluchsee and Lenzkirch cases.
• Five sheep were found dead in Schluchsee in mid-September, and additional animals were later euthanized due to severe injuries.
• A separate analysis linked a dead calf in nearby Lenzkirch to a wolf, according to officials.
• Authorities have not yet identified which individual wolf carried out the attacks, and forensic investigations are continuing.
• State researchers currently document four resident wolves in Baden-Württemberg with no established pack, noting earlier numbers fell due to dispersal and road collisions.
