Officials in Stockholm say they have found evidence that a wolf pack has formed in the south of the city, including tracks, droppings and urine spotted when snow fell earlier this week.
Animal experts believe that two wolves have made the Swedish capital their home and are currently analysing what are believed to be their droppings.
The County Administrative Board of Stockholm (Länsstylrelsen), which is responsible for monitoring the movement of animals in the city, is investigating.
“The collected droppings will be DNA tested and this will hopefully provide answers on whether the two wolves have been marking their territory,” said Arne Söderberg, a spokesperson for Länsstylrelsen in a statement.
