31 wolf packs are known to have had offspring in Switzerland last year. A total of 122 wolf pups were observed. This is according to the Kora Foundation for Predator Ecology and Wildlife Management in its annual report published on Tuesday.
Of the total of 38 packs in the country, two have disbanded during this period. At the same time, a first pack formed in the Swiss National Park in the Engadin.
The lynx is also geographically widespread in Switzerland. Kora has recorded evidence of lynx in 23 cantons. Much rarer is the golden jackal, also a large carnivore. There have only been confirmed sightings in the canton of Zurich and Graubünden.
Meanwhile, there were no bears to be seen. "In 2023, no confirmed evidence of bears was documented in Switzerland," the foundation continued.
