The report was published on Friday following additional analysis by Germany's Senckenberg Institute. DNA analysis traced the wolf back to the municipality of Rodewald in Germany - some 450 kilometres away from Luxembourg as the crow flies (or the wolf stalks).
Two weeks ago, local authorities confirmed the presence of a wolf in the area around Niederanven.
On 9 June, Luxembourg's nature administration will hold a webinar in conjunction with the National Museum of Natural History, and the municipality of Niederanven, to provide an online conference on peaceful co-existence between humans and the wolf. Participants must register in advance, with further details available in the press release.
