Once again: there are no coyotes in Europe, and accidental mating between wild wolves and dogs simply isn’t a thing that happens here.
All of these are wolves.
Enjoy!
A wolf attacked a deer in someone’s backyard in Tierp, Sweden. Police told people to stay away from the animal.
“It felt unreal, like something out of a movie,” says Tobias Ågren, who witnessed everything from his home.
Tobias was lying down resting when his girlfriend suddenly screamed from the living room — a wolf was chasing a deer right outside in their yard.
He says the wolf kept going back and forth between the front of the house and where the deer was lying.
“It would walk to the front and scan the area, then go back and start chewing. It kept doing that for a while,” he says.
At one point, the wolf also moved around to the back of the house, where there’s a playground. According to Tobias, the area is usually full of kids, but luckily no one was there at the time.
“But our neighbor was outside shoveling snow. I knocked on the window to warn him, and the wolf was just a couple of meters away,” he says.

The incident happened around 11 a.m. on Tuesday, and police warned the public not to approach the area. Children were told to stay indoors, as well as dog owners.
“We have a patrol speaking with nearby preschools to make sure they’re informed. We urge the public not to go near this animal,” said police spokesperson Daniel Wikdahl.
By lunchtime, police on site had located the wolf, which didn’t seem to care about people or the fact that it was in a residential area.
It didn’t even react when officers put the deer down — despite sitting right next to it.
“Normally, predators run off when they hear a gunshot,” Wikdahl said.
Police contacted the County Administrative Board to confirm it was indeed a wolf.
“The wolf started behaving so unusually that we couldn’t wait for them to arrive — we needed to act in time. We decided to be on the safe side, and one of our hunters euthanized the wolf,” Wikdahl said.
The wolf had injuries, including to one of its hind legs, and its body will be examined by the authorities.
