Wolf sightings in southern Örebro over recent days

Sightings of a wolf in the southern parts of Örebro have been reported in the last few days. According to the county administrative board, it is not unusual for a lone wolf to pass through at this time of year.

In the last few days, reports of a wolf in the southern parts of Örebro have surfaced. Emma Schön Kvastegård, wildlife manager at the county administrative board, explains that this is typical behavior for young wolves leaving their birth territory.

“They leave their birth territory to find a new place to live,” says Emma Schön Kvastegård.

It is not uncommon for lone wolves to move through urban areas during this season. Earlier this year, a similar incident was captured on video at Oset, where a lone wolf visited the area. The county administrative board emphasizes that such passages are not an unusual occurrence in the region.
