Upper Austria: Jogger May Have Encountered a Wolf

Even if the animal's behaviour would not correspond to that of a wolf, the incident is being taken "very seriously", it was further stated.

Did a Jogger in Upper Austria Encounter a Wolf?

The man is "absolutely certain" that it was not a dog that jumped on him. He was running in the dark with a headlamp around 5:00 PM when he suddenly noticed an animal approaching him.

"The behaviour of the animal should not be taken lightly. We ask the public, but especially hunters, to be vigilant and to report any further important clues to the state immediately", said Langer-Weninger. Based on the described appearance and behaviour, a wolf cannot be ruled out. "The encounter" is classified as deterrence according to the Upper Austrian wolf management regulation. In the mentioned area, there would be at least two packs.
