| Some time in 2019, a [[https://www.nrk.no/innlandet/ble-bedovd-og-flytta-30-mil-_-na-er-den-tilbake-1.14816993|lone wolf]] entered Norway.

The wolves were now in a territory which was bisected by an imaginary line - the separation line between areas designated for wolves, and that where sheep may safely graze. The following year, the zone where wolves are protected was enlarged specifically to ensure this wolf was protected. Locals were not happy.
