Lone wolf follows Paide resident near castle

A lone wolf followed a Paide resident near the town's castle late Monday night, an unusual behavior for the wild animal. The wolf, confirmed to be a gray wolf, tracked a woman walking her dog for about 20 meters before running off. Experts advise caution for pet owners and the public. This incident occurs amid a growing wolf population in Estonia, exceeding management targets, and a potential link to a decline in wild boar, a primary food source.
