Wolf survival rates in Germany are among the highest in the world, according to a study by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research.

Young wolves in Germany had an annual survival probability of 75% during the first two decades since the beginning of the recolonization of Germany .

The expansion phase will end as soon as the carrying capacity of suitable landscapes are reached, at which point survival rates can be expected to fall.

Scientists used demographic data on the wolf population from 2000 to 2020 .

They related them to environmental variables such as habitat suitability, density and season of the year .

A significant proportion of the data comes from the ongoing molecular genetic analysis of samples collected in the field.

Three quarters of dead wolves die in traffic collisions, mostly with cars on country roads or motorways.
