Wolf that injured woman in Hamburg likely dead, authorities suspect

Hamburg authorities suspect a wolf that attacked a woman two months ago is dead. The animal, which had injured a woman in a shopping arcade, was captured, fitted with a tracking collar, and released in the city's Altona district.

The collar automatically transmitted data until the end of May. Since then, no signal has been received, according to the environmental authority. "The transmitters used are technically extremely reliable and proven; a defect or a conventional loss of the collar is considered unlikely after such a short period of use," a spokesperson stated.

Extensive search operations for the young wolf were unsuccessful. Neither the animal nor the transmitter could be found. "Based on the available findings, the death of the animal is probable," the spokesperson added. The article will be updated as more information becomes available.
