Huge wolf killed in Bulgaria fails to make record, says expert

SOFIA (AFP) - A grey wolf shot dead in northwestern Bulgaria and reported to be the biggest wolf ever recorded at 80 kilogrammes (176.4 pounds) actually fell far below this weight, an independent expert has told AFP. ADVERTISEMENT



"The male beast that was shot dead on December 30 near the town of Brusartzi weighed 48 kilogrammes," Hunting Association chief Mihail Boyadzhiev told AFP Thursday.

"This is indeed an exceptionally big wolf," he added, but denied an earlier report by the state BTA news agency that the wolf weighed 80 kilogrammes.

BTA had Wednesday cited hunter Slavcho Slavchev as saying he shot the "giant" six-year-old beast with a single bullet to the head while lying in ambush for other game.

The heaviest wolf on record weighed 175 pounds (79.4 kilos), according to The International Wolf Center in Ely in the US state of Minnesota.

That was an animal shot dead in east-central Alaska in 1939, said Andrea Lorek Strauss from the centre, who added that she was investigating whether there were any heavier wolves recorded outside the United States.

Bulgaria has one of the largest game populations in Europe, including more than 2,500 grey wolves according to the latest tally.

傳保加利亞獵人射殺歷來最大的狼

（法新社索非亞四日電） 保加利亞新聞社報導，一匹重達八十公斤的灰狼在保加利亞西北部被獵人開槍射殺。如果獲得證實，這將是見諸紀錄的最大一匹狼。

獵人斯拉夫契夫告訴保加利亞新聞社，他在布魯沙特吉村附近射殺這匹六歲大的灰狼，當時他正埋伏等待其他獵物，他對準頭部開了一槍便擊斃這匹灰狼。

斯拉夫契夫說，和他同行的獵人從未看過或聽過這麼大的狼。他表示，五十公斤的狼就已被視為相當重的獵物。

位於美國明尼蘇達州艾里的「國際狼中心」指出，目前見諸紀錄最重的狼是七十九點四公斤。

該中心的史特勞斯說，這匹狼是一九三九年在阿拉斯加遭到射殺，並表示，她正在調查美國境外是否有更重的狼。

保加利亞是歐洲擁有最多獵物的國家之一，包括兩千五百匹以上的灰狼在內。
