Wolves are shy animals. They also have to cross roads during their migrations. This has now proved fatal for one young animal.

A wolf pup has been killed in a traffic accident near Königshain (district of Görlitz). The young animal died in a collision with a car, according to the Görlitz police department. The carcass is now to be examined by the Lupus wolf office. There are currently 37 wolf packs living in Saxony. There are also six pairs of wolves. After Brandenburg and Lower Saxony, Saxony has the largest population in Germany.
