A problem wolf is in an area in West Jutland. Now a school has sent out recommendations about moving carefully in the area.

Sing a song and walk in groups. These are some of the recommendations coming from a school in one of the areas where the problem wolf has recently been seen.
Blåbjergskolen in Nørre Nebel has just sent a message on Aula to parents with recommendations.
"I sent out a message on Aula yesterday that children under 10 should not walk alone. This is based on recommendations that the Danish Agency for Green Area Restructuring and Water Environment had previously sent out," says school principal Lene Korsgaard.
Over the past week, the hunt for the problem wolf in the area around Nørre Nebel has intensified. Last week, a wolf entered three private gardens where children were present. This week, it was seen walking close to a family restaurant a few kilometers from Nørre Nebel.
This has prompted the school to tighten recommendations for students. But the school leaders are careful not to stir up panic.
"Generally speaking, I sense calm from both students and staff. There is a constructive attitude that the wolf is something we coexist with."
Isn't it a bit extreme for a school principal to have to tell children to walk in groups?
"It's a wild world we live in. My job as a school principal is to help staff and children have a safe school day."

Both teachers and students are taking the new recommendations with West Jutlandic composure. Joshua Mehl is in 7th grade at the school, and he is well aware that he moves in an area where wolves also live.
"It's fine that the school wants to look after us. But we have to remember that we are not prey for the wolf. So just as you don't feed red deer, you shouldn't go near a wolf and feed it either," he says.

However, the new recommendations do bring some changes to everyday life.
"We've been told to walk in groups. So yes, it has changed school life a bit, but it's not something I notice very much," says Joshua Mehl.
On Tuesday, the hunt for the problem wolf was further intensified after the problem wolf was observed near a family restaurant.
Yesterday, additional personnel were deployed to find and shoot the wolf, and another thermal drone was sent up to locate the wolf.
