Finland: There has been a rise in wolf sightings in North Karelia.
From yle.fi/uutiset:
There has been a sharp increase in wolf sightings in a municipality near the Russian border in Northern Karelia, says Finnish farmers’ union daily Maaseudun Tulevaisuus.
The area is home to three of Finland’s four large predators: bears, wolves and wolverines. Wolf sightings are not rare in the region – but it is unusual that they are seen near people’s residences.
