In recent days, through some articles, yes

In recent days, through some articles, it has been learned that in recent months at least two individuals have been identified in the Alps which, at first glance, have anomalies in appearance and could therefore be considered as "hybrid" individuals. In particular, there are two episodes: the first in the Parco delle Alpi Cozie in Piedmont, where a recently photo-trapped individual has a “very light brown” coat as defined by the park itself, a possible sign of hybridization with the dog. The second, probably known for some time, concerns an individual with a black (melanistic) coat present in the Tarvisio area in Friuli Venezia Giulia. This individual seems to have formed a couple together with another individual of the opposite sex, apparently a "pure" wolf ("wild-type" phenotype), and it is possible that the couple may reproduce by next spring. It is hypothesized that this black-coated individual could come from Slovenia, where the Velika planina herd during the past years has been constituted by an episode of hybridization between a male dog and a female wolf, giving birth to first generation hybrids ( F1) from the black coat (melanic) mostly removed by the Slovenian authorities. These two episodes, in our opinion, require immediate action for many reasons, the first of which is the need to immediately stop the potential spread of canine genes in the Alpine wolf population, where today these genes seem almost or completely. absent. We also hope for maximum transparency on these issues and on the interventions that will be undertaken and reiterate how it is necessary to work very carefully, in order to avoid predictable exploitation that would only offer a pretext (which many seek) to invoke massive lethal interventions wolf population of these areas.

🇮🇹 Is it true that wolves only prey at night?

Moving in single file is beneficial for Lupers

Moving in single file is advantageous for wolves especially when there is snow because it allows considerable energy savings at least for those who do not open the line fila In the video part of the pack of the Reserve moves at the first light of the morning.

In recent months we had already received several signs

In recent months we had already received several reports from some users of this page about the presumed possibility that the wolf was present in the Euganean Hills area, and yesterday the official confirmation from the Regional Park of the Euganean Hills The presence of the wolf in this area is however an important fact for which it is worth spending a few more words, not only to promote the dissemination of information, but also to answer the questions that have been received in these last hours from part of some of you. For those unfamiliar with them, the Euganean hills are a group of hilly reliefs of volcanic origin that rises, almost isolated, on the central Venetian plain, southwest of Padua, occupying an area of about 200 square kilometers. For those observing them from afar, the hills are therefore a small hilly group completely surrounded by the Po Valley and dotted with various inhabited centers. The presence of the wolf in this area is certainly not anomalous, as this territory has a high number of wild prey, primarily wild boar, present in great abundance, but rather represents yet another testimony to the mobility of the species which, as in others cases, it sometimes manages to cross the Po Valley, the motorways and the other infrastructures present, demonstrating an extraordinary adaptability and tenacity. However, it is also important to underline that the Euganean hills are a largely man-made area, rich in communication routes, inhabited centers, tourism, and it is presumed that the wolf will not have an easy life in this territory full of roads that today represent one of the greater threats due to the very high number of road investments that the species suffers throughout the national territory. This is why it is really important to talk about it, without taking anything for granted in such a complex territorial fabric. 👉🏻 continues in the first comment

In recent months there has been more and more talk of jackall

In recent months there has been more and more talk of golden jackal, so we thought it was important to share some basic information with you to get to know this "new" presence. The golden jackal is a Meso Carnivore that in recent years is naturally expanding its distribution range in places that had never known its presence previously. The golden jackal (Canis aureus) is one of the 4 species of jackals in the world. In Italy, the larger subspecies moreoticus is widespread. The jackal has an appearance and size intermediate between the wolf and the fox, and with the latter it is often confused. The weight in adulthood is between 11-15kg for a height of 45-55cm at the withers. Its coat color varies over the seasons, ranging from reddish fawn in winter to golden brown in summer. The back tends to be darker than the belly and limbs which are lighter in color. There are some peculiar characteristics in the color of the coat that can be useful to distinguish it from the fox, in particular the presence of the gular spot and the collar formed by bands of lighter hair in the neck area. The tail considerably shorter than the fox, is blackish and never touches the ground. Other chromatic characteristics that allow us to distinguish it from the fox are the legs and ears of a light and uniform color, which in the fox tend to brown. In the jackal as in the wolf, black bands on the legs may be present. The golden jackal is a social animal that lives in territorial herds. The flock is formed on average of 4-6 individuals and includes the monogamous reproductive couple, the children of the year before the dispersal and any helper or nurse. The home range of the herd extends from 0,5km2 to 20km2, in Italy the average size is 5km2. The dispersal process of the jackal is similar to that of the wolf, the distances traveled are several hundred km.

Even in such a difficult moment we believe it

Even in such a difficult time we believe in it! This is why we have scheduled over 30 events for 2021. Educational camps, trekking and many excursions dedicated to our members and led by volunteers, guides, and specialized experts to share our time in the open air together. Apennines and the Alps, from the Ligurian coast to the border with Slovenia, with particular attention to current health regulations. We will talk about wolves, bears, ungulates and birds of prey, as well as dedicating time to cleaning the riverbed or spending nights on a splendid house suspended in a beech forest looking at the stars. In addition, from this year all day trips will be free to offer, and it will also be enough to donate just one euro to contribute to the costs of carrying out the event, support the association and participate personally in the event. All events are scheduled starting from this link and it is already possible to register for events until April 👉 https://www.iononhopauradellupo.it/eventi/ We remind you that all events are reserved for members of Io non I'm afraid of the wolf in good standing with the 2021 membership fee. We believe it, and you? #iononhopauradellupo
