In 2011, Slavc The Wolf Journeyed 1,000 Miles To Begin Verona’s First Wolf Pack In 100 Years

Would you do anything for love? It’s a claim that Meatloaf made quite passionately, but who among us can really say we’d walk 1,000 miles simply on the off chance of finding love? Even The Proclaimers could only last 500, but I can tell you of at least one individual: Slavc, the Eurasian wolf.
In 2011, Slavc stunned scientists when – seemingly unprompted – he decided to ditch his family and embark on a 1,600-kilometer (1,000-mile) journey through the Alps, tackling treacherous terrain and extreme weather to arrive north of Verona in Italy. It was a part of the world that hadn’t seen wolves for a century, and then, that all changed.
