The wolf seen several times near Modane at the beginning of the year
“There is nothing extraordinary,” said the author of the video, who also took to the balcony to observe the canines. “We don’t see them every day but every winter. Personally, wolves don’t bother me. Usually, you run into them and they leave too quickly for the device to be taken out in time. This time they came back. As if they wanted to be photographed, the wolves descended the street before taking it again in the other direction.
This phenomenon is no longer so rare in the vicinity of Modane. Last March, a resident leaving for work surprised a wolf on the sidewalk. On March 24, the town hall published a surprising press release to explain to its citizens how to react in the event of an encounter with a wolf in the city. On January 20, Franck Pasquali, an inhabitant of Saint-André (in Haute-Maurienne) had seized a pack of wolves making their way through the snow, in the Planay sector, thanks to a camera trap installed on a tree.
The French Biodiversity Office had not yet been notified this Monday, November 29 at the beginning of the afternoon of the passage of this pack at the end of November. ” These are things that happen. They are not only in the countryside or in the mountains, they sometimes come to villages or towns, ”replied the on-call officer.
