Wolves have settled in Belgium for the first time in more than 100 years – raising concerns among livestock owners.
Wolves were once widely hunted in Europe and folklore suggests the last wolf in Belgium was shot by the nation’s King Leopold II in the 1890s.
Estimates vary but around 15 to 20 wolves are currently thought to be in the country, with one pack in Flanders plus another in southern Wallonia, as well as a newly settled pair.
Dietary analysis in the area has found that the wolves mainly eat roe deer and wild boar. But around 15% of their diet is livestock – which is causing concern among farmers.
