Wolves invade Paris - paw prints and wolf droppings are evidence


Wolves have invaded Paris and their paw prints and droppings are evidence that shows that they are making their home in the Paris region - their late-night howls are often heard in the southern suburbs. The president of the wolf-watching group Alliance Avec Les Loups has indicated that wolves have been in circulation since April last year, there was one couple and another lone wolf.
Wolves are not interested in eating people - they only eat four-legged animals and not the two-legged ones.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 17 January 2017.
Urban foxes have been commonplace in the French capital, like many European cities, and now they are facing a challenge from their larger, fiercer canine cousins. Wolves have, for centuries, lived in the French Alps and in the Massif Central and were hunted to the point of extinction by the 1930s to become an endangered species. Hence, they got protection and their numbers have recovered.
They have now spread across France and come closer to Paris and have been spotted and heard within howling distance of the capital itself.
