They are six “killer wolves”according to villagers in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which They are horrified after nine children died in bizarre attacks for which experts are still looking for an explanation.
Night patrols of groups made up of local residents hunt six wolves that have been seen in at least thirty cities Bahraich district, near the border with Nepal, have become a ritual in recent months.
While the children stay home and sleep, Men take to the dark streets with sticks and flashlightshoping to prevent predators from entering the villages.
“People are afraid to go out at night, so we help the forest department hunt these animals.”he told an Indian agency ANI a relative of one of the victims.
Many there are no locks or even doors in the housesthat’s why they are vulnerable.
“The wolf dragged my sister out of the house. Everyone was asleep and there were no doors“If they had been there, the incident would not have happened,” the brother of the 11-year-old girl who was bitten on the neck last week but survived told the same media.
Anti-wolf attacks began in mid-July after a wolf killed a one-year-old child. Attacks continued sporadically, every four or five days.
Wildlife experts are trying to understand the reason for the attack of these animals who usually flee from populated areas and They are not considered predators of humans.
“If there are wolves or any animal that systematically kills children, then of course there is fear. But why do they do it? We need to find the source, because wolves tend to stay far away, in the meadows, not to go into cities and especially not to come close to people’s houses,” he explained. EFE Wildlife expert Abi Tamim.
One theory put forward by the expert suggests that these canines “They may be wolf-dog hybrids.”something that is more common than people think and can only be verified if they decide to do genetic testing.”
However, a hypothesis that would answer more of Tamim’s questions is that these wolves have contracted rabies, which would explain why they attack people or children, although he points out that this is “also very rare, as 95% of rabies cases in India are caused by dogs.”
“Dogs are even responsible for killing more people”held.
“IN Ten people, including nine children, have died and more than 40 have been injured in the past two months.some seriously, as a result of attacks by grey wolves,” Tamim said.
The fact that Most of these victims are children reveals the possible the tendency of wolves to attack more vulnerable populations.
In August last year, the northern state government launched an operation known as “Operation Wolf, which uses traps, night vision drones, mapping techniques, nets and tranquilizers to hunt six wolves.
Their tactics include placing fecal and urine samples from other wolves and playing female sounds through a speaker.
The operation has so far captured five wolvesalthough the sixth continues to spread terror, with attacks occurring several days in a row, raising doubts that the number of wolves attacking people is actually greater than expected.
Historical records show Similar incidents in the 1980s and 1990salthough rare. The attacks reached their most critical point in 1996, when One wolf was responsible for attacks on 76 childrenof which almost fifty died.
That number has declined in subsequent decades, according to a study by the Norwegian Institute of Nature Research, which shows there were only four fatal wolf attacks in India between 2002 and 2020.
