Wildlife protection sets up cameras in Oksbøl after wolf comes close to 14-year-old girl

The Danish Nature Agency is setting up cameras in the forest area bordering Oksbøl town, according to a statement on its website (https://naturstyrelsen.dk/nyheder/2026/januar/ulvevaernet-i-oksboel-er-sat-i-beredskab-efter-haendelse).

This follows an incident Friday evening, where a wolf came close to a 14-year-old girl.

Deputy Director of the Danish Nature Agency Mads Jensen says that the girl likely was not in danger.

- It is clearly noticeable that the girl does not feel safe, but there is nothing immediate in the wolf's behavior that suggests she was in danger.

There is likely a young and inexperienced wolf, he assesses.
