Hardly a week goes by in the summer in Tyrol without wolves, bears and the like in the news. As the state announced, a seriously injured young stock was found on Wednesday in Stams in the Imst district. A bear is suspected to be the culprit. Samples were taken for genetic elucidation. In addition, the results of previous cases are now available.
In the municipality of Lavant (Lienz district), a wolf from the Italian population was genetically detected in examined dead sheep on 9 July. However, during the investigation into a sheep slaughter on June 27 from the municipality of Ausservillgraten (Lienz district), a wolf from the northern population was genetically detected for the first time this year. The DNA of a wolf from the Italian population was also found in sheep examined on July 10 – also from the municipality of Ausservillgraten. According to the current state of knowledge, three different wolf individuals in the district of Lienz have already been genetically confirmed this year.
Samples taken in the assessment of dead sheep in the municipality of Längenfeld (Imst district) and Ehrwald (Reutte district) and in the assessment of dead chickens in Matrei am Brenner (Innsbruck-Land district) did not contain DNA from a large carnivore. detected.
Zenderwolf from Switzerland now in Tyrol
As reported by the Hunting and Fisheries Office of the Canton of Graubünden (Switzerland), in early July this year a male wolf, which had been tagged in Graubünden to investigate the behavior of land use, migrated via South Tyrol to North Tyrol. The animal has moved to the Kaunertal and further to the Pitztal.
However, high-speed local tracking is only possible at irregular and unforeseen intervals due to topographical conditions and associated data transfer challenges. The federal state of Tyrol is in constant exchange with colleagues from Graubünden.
