Wolves of Belgium

==Conservation==
These wolves are taxonomically considered to belong to the Canis lupus lupus subspecies.
Wolf populations were on the rise in Belgium, but hopes were soon dashed after the female Naya had been killed and pups stolen (presumably dead) by an unknown hunter.https://www.brusselstimes.com/brussels/54743/wolves-on-the-rise-in-belgium/https://phys.org/news/2019-11-belgium-wolf-years-presumed-dead.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49933776https://www.ecowatch.com/wild-wolf-belgium-naya-shot-2640828530.html They were the first wolf cubs born in Belgium in 150 years. https://wolf.org/wow/europe/belgium/
== Religion & Impact ==
Holy Roman Empire: An eccentric teacher named Egbert authored a collection. The story "De puella a lupellis servata" is contained in one. He says that he gathered this story from 'pilgrims', and that they trust him enough to tell him their stories. The city he lived in was Liege, which purportedly had polytheists living in it despite it already being Christianized, enough that there was a polytheistic terrorist group in the region. Whether they were Roman or Germanic or other is not known.
While I don't currently have either book, I managed to find an excerpt which tells the beginning of the fairytale, which I then translated using an online translator. A girl was baptized on the Pentecost holiday. She was given a baptismal gift of a red coat by her father. A wolf mother went out into the woods and noticed the bright red cloak. She captured the girl and took her to her den, intending to feed her to her pups. Instead, they took to her. That's where the reference ends. This story is the earliest known Red Riding Hood story in Europe.
