Large deployment in Kleinmachnow: Rowing authorities back - supposed Löwin turns out to be a wild boar

Löwin viewing in Kleinmachnow was an error

In the past few days, a supposed Löwin viewing in Kleinmachnow near Berlin has caused a sensation. The veterinarian Michaela Ebeling was asked by the authorities for help with her husband to capture the dangerous predator. After almost two days of intensive searches, however, the authorities rowed back and explained that the animal had been a wild boar.

Ms. Ebeling commented on the official assessment and explained that the animal in the video definitely had round ears and a round head, which more refer to a big cat than a wild boar. She believes that in the next few days it will show which animal it is actually. If there are further sightings that are not too short for photos, the situation will be rated again.

When asked whether she had doubts about the authenticity of the video, Ms. Ebeling replied that she was initially skeptical, but the creator of the video had credibly worked. There were also further reports from the population before the video in the media became known.

Ms. Ebeling and her husband were rang out of bed at night to help you find the supposed predator. They brought a anesthetic defense and narcotics from their veterinary practice and set off. The goal was to secure the animal somewhere or to drive it where you could safely numb. The challenge was to get close enough and to place the arrow on the side of the back in a muscle group.

When asked what would have happened if they had come across a real Löwin and met them with the anesthetic, Ms. Ebeling replied that one could never know how an animal reacted. However, a big cat would not be happy to be hit by an arrow. It would take about ten minutes for the narcotics to work and the animal could run away.

Ms. Ebeling also explained that they only walked through the forest in daylight to look for the Löwin. They would have searched the forest section next to each other in a line. When asked whether she was afraid, Ms. Ebeling replied that you don't have to be afraid with enough people and in daylight. Nevertheless, there was a queasy feeling because you did not yet know exactly which animal it was.

Finally, Ms. Ebeling stated that big cats can adapt and even survive in large cities. If the authorities come to a different assessment again and a big cat is spotted, the animal's constitution will depend. It would be desirable for the animal to be accommodated in a species -appropriate manner and that until the end of life it could simply be a lion.
