Estimates vary but around 15 to 20 wolves are currently thought to be in the country, with one pack in Flanders plus another in southern Wallonia, as well as a newly settled pair.

The UK government meanwhile has ruled out re-introducing wolves. It's part of a wider expansion in Europe that's triggering alarm in some communities, while being welcomed by conservationists. But this animal's resurgence, while not down to just one factor, is certainly no simple act of nature.
