Abstract

Wildlife rehabilitation is widely practiced to help injured animals recover and return to the wild, particularly benefiting endangered species that have small local populations. Here, we report the first case of a rehabilitated Ethiopian wolf that was successfully released back in the Simien Mountains. Through this case study, we documented the clinical treatment provided, recovery, and behavior of this individual during captivity, and post-release monitoring in the wild using a GPS collar. After 51 days of captivity, during which a bone fracture in the hind leg caused by a gunshot was treated, the wolf was released back. After remaining with his pack members for 22 days, the wolf dispersed and settled in an unoccupied territory, where he paired with a female and successfully sired a litter. This study provides important insights on rehabilitation and post-release monitoring that will inform conservation management of the Ethiopian wolf.

成功地首次恢复并释放了一只濒危的埃塞俄比亚狼
野生动物康复是一项广泛的实践,旨在帮助受伤的动物恢复并回归野外,特别是对当地种群较少的濒危物种有益。在这里,我们报告了第一例被成功释放回塞米恩山脉的康复埃塞俄比亚狼。通过这个案例研究,我们记录了该个体在圈养期间的临床治疗、恢复和行为,以及在野外使用GPS项圈进行监测。在被囚禁51天之后,这只狼被释放了,在此期间,它的后腿因枪击而骨折,并接受了治疗。在和狼群成员呆了22天后,这只狼分散开来,在一块无人居住的土地上定居下来,在那里他和一只母狼配对,并成功地生下了一窝狼。这项研究为埃塞俄比亚狼的康复和释放后监测提供了重要的见解,将为保护管理提供信息。
