Wolf Update

Trackers with heat-vision goggles showed up this morning around 5.00 a.m. to look for the female wolf running around Kyiv National Botanical Garden. They didn’t find anything, but said they would keep on looking, according to the guy at the main gate.

The garden is on 117 hectares (about 289 acres), so it could take a while.

Some wolf tips:

  • Do not run or turn your back toward an aggressive wolf or wolves.

  • Retreat slowly while facing a wolf and act aggressively, maintain eye contact if possible.

  • If you are with a companion and more than one wolf is present, place yourselves back to back and slowly move away from the wolves.

  • Make loud noises.

  • Aggressively use handy items to discourage wolves from approaching.

  • Stand your ground if a wolf attacks you and fight with any means possible.

  • Climb a tree if necessary; wolves cannot climb trees.
