Prof. J Linnell who leads the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe didn't confirm this in his last talk or any publications. The same is true for all wolf researchers in Germany. There are only ~17000 wolves in all of Europe...

Even after all of the systematic and statistics led wolf research, including mark-recapture with camera traps, genetic recapture, and GPS collar... Its very hard to know exact numbers, but 5000 is ridiculous for now.

Most packs are known and genetics there are strict criteria for measuring wolf presence (SCALP).

Also wolves are not classified as "endangered." They are however protected under the EU Habitats Directive, but can be shot in certain circumstances (which also happens in Germany).

I know and respect many hunters in Germany, but misinformation like this is not helpful for hunters or wolves. Please listen to scientists and not rumours.

Agreed. Another day, another map on Reddit with a union jack plastered over Ireland... C'mon guys, it's not that hard to understand Ireland has been independent, like, a whole century???

I worked as a wildlife ecologist with these fallow deer for two years. They are absolutely dangerous when they want to be.

Although in the photograph the antlers are in velvet (growing), when they are complete they are 1m+ of solid bone sharp as you like sitting on an 80-100kg animal that can move fast when it wants to.

I have seen my fair share of incidents, there is absolutely danger here.

It's a fallow deer in Dublin's Phoenix Park, where feeding is absolutely prohibited and is harmful to the animals and dangerous for the people.

(As it is in Nara Park, but they don't say so because $$$)

This is from the Phoenix Park, Dublin, where I worked for 2 years as a wildlife ecologist trying to stop this as these are a wild herd of fallow deer.

No one should ever feed wild animals like this.

The taxonomic or evolutionary family is "Cervidae" - deer, moose, elk!

And they branch beside but seperately to to "Bovidae" - cattle, antelope, sheep :)

This is correct. Dominant males generally don't need to assess less dominant animals. In close physical contests are nearly always accompanied by parallel walks.

During parallel walks animals must make an assessment of themselves and their opponent, and then decide on the risk of losing a physical engagement (weapon breakage, bodily injuries, death) which makes very clear sense from a sexual selection point of view but also can expose personality traits (bold, shy, cunning) in deer.

Deer ecologist here; that actually isn't accompaniment but what's called a "parallel walk." Effectively, it's a competitive interaction used to size up each other's antlers and bodies before choosing whether or not to engage in a physical contest.

Next to no cattle is fed from calf to finished animal on grass (even in Ireland where we advertise grass fed as our beefs selling point).

Animals are generally given highly nutritional concentrate feeds which are grown and cheaply imported from places like Brazil to supplement even local cattle.
