Wolf offspring confirmed in the canton of Glarus

In recent days, wolf pups have been detected by a camera trap in the federal hunting reserve Kärpf.

Europe's oldest wildlife sanctuary

This confirms the second pack in the canton of Glarus.

The Kärpf wildlife reserve is a protected wildlife area, also known as a hunting reserve. This is because hobby hunting is prohibited — or rather, banned. Wildlife sanctuaries are specially designated protected habitats that serve to protect and preserve rare wild mammals and birds — often threatened by hobby hunting. The Kärpf wildlife reserve has existed since 1548 and is the oldest wildlife sanctuary in Europe.

At least four young animals suspected

Over the past few days, two young wolves were photographed simultaneously by a camera trap. This confirms the suspected establishment of another wolf pack in the canton of Glarus. The exact number of wolf pups is unknown, but audio recordings of wolf howling suggest, according to experts, at least four young animals.

The pack that was active in the Mürtschental – Kerenzerberg – Schilt area last year has not yet been confirmed again.
