Wild wolf captured near Beijing's Great Wall
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-12-25 13:42 Forestry workers have caught a wild wolf near Badaling, a section of the Great Wall in northern Beijing, ending widespread fear of residents and travelers.
The adult wolf, caught Tuesday afternoon, is kept at a nearby safari park and will be freed in uninhabited mountains away from the Great Wall, said a spokesman with the forestry department in Beijing's rural Yanqing County.
No timetable is available as to when the wolf will be set free. "We'll put it under quarantine for a couple of days to ensure it is healthy," the spokesman said. Zoo workers said the wolf appeared healthy and was fed raw meat.
The animal was caught at about 4:40 p.m. Tuesday with a tranquilizer gun when it was eating a bait at one of the traps forestry workers had set in mountains close to the Wall. "We were certain the wolf was alone. Probably it left its companions to search for food," said Zhang Wenzhu, one of the forestry workers in the wolf hunt. |
