Alaska Fish and Game officials are searching for a rare, potentially rabid wolf that unexpectedly attacked two people on the Dalton Highway.

A wolf has been sighted in Sokndal, near the coast of western Norway, an area where such sightings are rare, sparking discussions about potential risks and the possibility of issuing a culling permit.

A study attributes the nearly 50% growth of caribou herds in B.C. and Alberta to controversial wolf culls, which may need to continue for decades.

Two dogs have died from wolf attacks, according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) — and community members say the number could be higher. Westwick said wolf aggression toward dogs is most likely during the breeding season between December and February, and during the denning period from April to May.

In recent months, there have been a number of reported wolf sightings in Southern Sweden, an unusual occurrence in this part of the country.

The number of wolves in Gävleborg county has gone up and the pressure to introduce licensed hunting is increasing in the region.

Preliminary figures from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences show that there are 69 wolf pack territories in Sweden today, and the number in the southern part of the country has increased.
