The Hunters Union of Lower Saxon has spotted a pack of wolves near the German town of Meppen, just 20 kilometres from Emmen.
The presence of six wolf pups was confirmed earlier this year in images made by motion activated cameras near Meppen. It is not clear how many wolves are in the pack itself.
There have been several sightings of wolves in Groningen and Drenthe in recent months, but it is suspected these are roaming lone animals rather than members of a pack.
