In Case You Were Wondering....
That's why I've not posted. I'm guessing no real interest.

By the 1700s the British fox was on the verge of extinction and about to
follow the bear and wolf having been hunted for sport for centuries.
The answer was to import thousands of foxes per year for sport. But
foxes kept dying out so jackals were tried. Some were caught, some
escaped. Even wolves and coyote were released for hunting and "country
folk" were very far from "happy" -some even threatening local hunts -one
intending to release a wolf for a hunt- with legal and other
consequences.
The summation of over 40 years research by the noted naturalist and
former UK police forces exotic wildlife consultant reveals the damnable
lie of
"pest control" hunting but also reveals the cruelty the animals were
subject to and how private menageries as well as travelling shows.
Private menageries, or single exotic "pets" as well as travelling shows helped
provide the British and Irish countryside with some incredible events
such as the 1905 "vampiric" sheep killer of Badminton, the mystery
hounds of Cavan and Coyotes of Epping Forest.
The Girt Dog of Ennerdale
is also dealt with in detail -was it a tiger? A Tasmania Thylacine? This
book gives the exact facts and details for the first time.
Up-dated 2013 edition includes a section on sarcoptic mange in foxes and treatment plus a list of wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centres in the UK.
UP-DATE Two Possible "Wolf" Photographs From Germany
Two photos have emerged of "possible" wolves in the German countryside.
I actually learnt about these by checking out the Face Book page of Radio SAW -the German radio station I listen to while working.
The first of a "wolf" walking toward the photographer near Schartau bei Burg looks like an Alaskan Malmute to me.
Below -the wolf photo
Here is an Alaskan Malmute -head shape and colouring...?
The second the photo, taken at Krina in Kreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld is not great and could be a manged fox or, possibly, a Saarloos wolfdog?

And a Saarloos Wolfdog
Checking with the UK Wolf Conservation Trust to see if they agree (they see wolves on a daily basis)

And the response from the UK Wolf Conservation Trust is:
" Hi Terry, The bottom picture is a wolf. The Top picture is quite poor quality & more likely to be a malumute. Thank you for sharing"
So, Krina in Kreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld has a wolf. Just do NOT panic and go hunting it. Leave it alone.
