Trunk wolf
The term trunk wolf ( Canis lupus ) describes two contradicting phenomena that were formulated in the context of discussions about wolves that have immigrated again in Germany.
In 2014, the Jäger magazine reported that wolves and lynxes were being brought across the border to Germany in a van. The claim was refuted, among others, by the federal police . Rumors of such trunk wolves are now interpreted as "modern sagas ".
The opposite meaning describes the assumption that carcasses of killed wolves are transported and deposited elsewhere.
