Monitored wolves in East Bohemia avoiding humans

Two wolves in East Bohemia’s Broumov area fitted with GPS collars are exhibiting normal behaviour, moving across a vast territory and avoiding human contact, Miroslav Kutal, a large carnivores expert on at Brno’s Mendel University and scientific advisor to the project Hnutí Duha Šelmy, told the Czech News Agency.

Conservationists fitted the animals with GPS tracking collars this year in response to a reported close encounter between a wolf and a human in the area. The first month of monitoring both wolves did not yield any alarming information, they said.
