Overview
- The Landratsamt Görlitz and Saxony’s LfULG confirmed MT15 died in a traffic collision in Czerwona Woda, Poland, on March 13.
- Authorities had classified the young male as not tolerable and approved a lethal removal under the Saxon wolf management rules after early March encounters.
- Deterrence measures, including sedation, capture, loud noise, and bright light, initially curbed the behavior following a November 2025 collaring.
- Telemetry showed the wolf left its parental territory in late January, moved largely in the Görlitz district, and repeatedly crossed into Poland, where it had been since March 11.
- The authorized removal in Germany was not carried out because the wolf moved to Poland before measures could begin.
