Wolves go to houses - but not necessarily from hunger. In autumn, predators can bring young animals to places where it is easier to catch a dog, cat or fowl. According to zoologist Mikhail Kretsmer, this is training to hunt light prey, and not proof that the forest is running out of food. The expert still does not see a catastrophe, but warns: without regulating the number, the situation could get worse. He calls Buryatia, Yakutia and Chukotka the most tense territories - hunting wolves there is more difficult. At the same time, according to him, the services are flooded with messages that include "rampant squirrels" and "cannibal badgers". There is no need to panic about any gray animal: a wolf can easily be confused with a large dog. But it cannot be considered harmless, especially if there are children nearby.
