Expensive 'big game hunt' in Berlin and Brandenburg for free: Laboratory analysis confirms wild boar instead of a lioness

Jetzt ist klar: Die Großwildjagd in Berlin und Brandenburg war umsonst. Nach Abschluss der Laboranalyse steht fest, dass es sich bei dem gesuchten Tier tatsächlich um ein Wildschwein handelte. Die Gemeinde Kleinmachnow veröffentlichte auf ihrer Homepage das finale Ergebnis der Untersuchungen. Sowohl die Haar- als auch die Kotanalyse ergaben eindeutige Hinweise auf ein Wildschwein. Die Haaranalyse bestätigte die optische Analyse der sichergestellten Haarprobe. Die DNA des Haares konnte zweifelsfrei einem Wildschwein zugeordnet werden, wie die amtliche Tierärztin des Veterinäramts Potsdam-Mittelmark bestätigte.

Expensive 'big game hunt' in Berlin and Brandenburg for free: Laboratory analysis confirms wild boar instead of a lioness

Now it is clear: The big game hunt in Berlin and Brandenburg was for nothing. After completing the laboratory analysis, it is clear that the animal wanted was actually a wild boar. The municipality of Kleinmachnow published the final result of the investigations on its homepage. Both the hair and faith analysis showed clear indications of a wild boar.

The hair analysis confirmed the optical analysis of the secured hair sample. The DNA of the hair could undoubtedly be assigned to a wild boar, as the official veterinarian of the Veterinary Office Potsdam-Mittelmark confirmed. The faith analysis also provided clear results: the sample contained a high proportion of vegetable substances, which does not correspond to the feeding behavior of a lioness.

The police of Berlin and Brandenburg searched for more than 30 hours with a large contingent for the supposed predator. Only now, after completing the laboratory analysis, it can be ruled out that it was actually a lioness. Fragments of DNA traces in the feces clearly show that it is a wild boar.

Despite the clear results, there will still be doubters who want to set up other theories. But the extensive search with heavily armed emergency services, helicopters and thermal imaging cameras was necessary to rule out a potential threat.

The case caused a sensation worldwide and suddenly brought the tranquil Kleinmachnow in the headlines. The all -clear was only given on Friday after experts examined the video more closely. They found that the attitude and body shape of the viewed animal did not match a lion.
