Some time in 2019, a lone wolf entered Norway. It was a foreign wolf, hailing either from Finland or Russia. Because the wolf population is tiny and threatened by inbreeding, this was a much wanted immigrant - at least for the authorities. So they shot it - with a tranquiliser, in order to move it away from area where wolves were about to be shot at by hunters. The wolf was moved 300 km, from Engerdal to Kongsvinger, and given a GPS collar. This collar provided the authorities with useful information. Such as the walk the wolf took, 300 km, back to the area it had been moved from. Then it turned tail and wandered back to the designated wolf zone.

The happy wolf met a nice girl wolf, and they had a good time. 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. But you know what they say - you may herd hares, you might herd cats, but you can't herd wolves.
