Captan a un glotón en una trampa de pelo en el norte del condado de Upsala

Un glotón ha sido grabado mientras se equilibraba en una trampa de pelo en el norte del condado de Upsala. La trampa forma parte del inventario nacional de la especie que se está llevando a cabo actualmente.

Se han instalado dos trampas de pelo en el norte del condado de Upsala que atraen al glotón con carne. Unos cepillos metálicos en el poste recogen muestras de pelaje sin capturar al animal.

Anders Johannesson, agente de fauna salvaje de la Junta Administrativa del Condado de Upsala, explica que es probable que el glotón sea el macho conocido como individuo 7744, quien estableció su territorio en la zona en 2023.

Según la Agencia Sueca de Protección Ambiental, había entre 675 y 731 glotones en Suecia en el inventario de 2025. La especie aparece clasificada como vulnerable en el banco de datos de especies (Artdatabank) de la SLU desde marzo de 2026.

Actualmente se está llevando a cabo una nueva recopilación nacional de la población de glotones.
