Wolf bites woman in a shopping area in Germany’s 2nd-biggest city - AP News

A wolf attacked and bit a woman in a shopping area of Germany's second-largest city, according to AP News. Wolf sightings in urban and suburban areas of Germany have increased in recent years as the animals expand their range from eastern Europe into more populated regions. The incident underscores growing tensions between wildlife recovery and public safety in densely populated areas where wolves are reestablishing themselves. German authorities typically investigate such attacks to determine the animal's origin and assess whether it poses an ongoing threat to residents. Attacks on humans remain rare, but the encounter highlights the challenges cities face as apex predators return to landscapes they had largely abandoned for decades.
