Despite their shyness, wolves will occasionally stay near inhabited areas if they roamed streets, meadows, or villages on their way to the other side of the valley or followed their prey. As soon as there is snow on the mountains, deer, roe deer and chamois move to the green areas at the bottom of the valley to graze. The game ranger asks the population to report such observations.
So far, according to the announcement, the damage caused by wolves to farm animals in the Glarus region has been relatively low. In 2020, five sheep were compensated as wolf tears. The canton attributes the low number of attacks on farm animals to good hunting and the increased use of herd protection measures.
Wolf sightings available online
Hunters were able to document the first Glarus wolf pack in Mürtschental in autumn this year. The photos of the photo traps now show that the pack consists of at least eight animals, namely two parents and six young wolves. Individual wolves also roam the canton.
To meet the public’s need for information, records of known wolves in the canton will now be available on the Internet. At the Glarnerland Nature Center in the Glarus station building, video and sound recordings of the Glarus pack are currently being shown as part of cantonal wolf monitoring. (SDA)
