A wolf which was found lying in a ditch with serious injuries after being hit by a car in September spurred thousands of Czechs into action and started a crowdfunding effort to help save the animal’s life.

"The information from our Italian colleagues was crucial. None of the 83 rescued wolves that they released back into the wild needed to be recaptured, nor did they return to areas inhabited by humans. It is essential that the wolf is released close to where it was found. There is a good chance that he will find his original pack and re-join it. Wolves can recognize members of their pack even after a long separation."
