Overview

• National park officials say Emil is now ranging between Bayerischer Wald and Šumava after brief stops in Bavarian villages including Bischofsreut and Buchenau.
• The ear‑tag GPS fitted during the 22 September sedation stopped transmitting after about nine days, cutting short the expected month of tracking.
• Veterinarians reported elevated cortisol and low white blood cell counts consistent with chronic stress from frequent human encounters, and they provided oxygen, fluids, vitamins and minerals during care.
• Authorities urge people to keep their distance and inform park administrations of sightings as teams continue situational monitoring without live location data.
• Upper Austrian officials sedated and moved Emil to the Bohemian Forest after he tried to breach the A1 motorway fence, citing the risk of a potentially life‑threatening traffic collision.
