Gray wolf

Romania's forest administration on Tuesday released rare footage of a wolf pack caught by a surveillance camera in the Piatra Craiului National Park in the Southern Carpathians.

1,200 sheep were placed in the streets of Lyon, with hundreds of shepherds, mostly from the alpine regions. They protest a planned ban on shooting wolves.
