Danish authorities have distributed multilingual flyers advising tourists in the Oksbøl area of Jutland (a popular coastal destination on Denmark's western peninsula) to stand still, maintain eye contact, and offer "maximum resistance" — including hitting and kicking — if attacked by a wolf. The guidance follows sightings of unusually bold young wolves approaching humans near Oksbøl earlier this year, which wildlife experts believe may have been partly caused by tourists inadvertently habituating the animals to human presence. Wolves, protected under EU law, returned to Denmark after a roughly 200-year absence and now number around 49 individuals, though their reintroduction has proved politically divisive in the country.
