- A wolf was filmed walking near a bouncy castle with children present in Nørre Nebel, Denmark.

- Authorities have established a regulation zone for the wolf and are using thermal drones to locate it.
A wolf was observed walking near a bouncy castle where children were present at the eatery Den Gyldne Pande in Nørre Nebel, western Denmark. Visitors captured video footage of the animal as it moved along the road past the establishment.
The sighting follows a series of concerning encounters in the same town. On August 5, a wolf approached children in three separate private gardens within a short period. These incidents prompted the Ministry of Nature and Food to establish a regulation zone, allowing for the problematic wolf to be culled.
Thermal drones have been deployed to aid in locating the wolf. It remains unclear if the wolf seen at the eatery is the same animal involved in the earlier garden encounters. The ministry announced the measures on August 7, aiming to address public safety concerns following the repeated proximity of the wolf to residential areas and children.
