Really? This surprises me a lot. Bahrain and Brunei and the Maldives and Solomon Islands all have wolf populations? How does Bahrain have wolves? Its basically a tiny desert island turned city. Wolves are more widespread than I thought. This is just really surprising I suppose

as Slovak, I can tell you that our wolves don't live close to Austrian borders. They live in a wilder mountainous region in the center and north.

If they even happened to be around the border, they would have to cross Morava or Danube river and then endless basins till they would reach the Alps.

But I am certain Austria still has wolves due to the Alps in the west.

Basicly the islands the microsates and the benelux. (going by the answers of this quiz, difficult to say when something turns from sightings to stable population. I don't think the netherlands has a stable population, not when you take the stable into account... I think there are only about 10-15 wolves here and I don't think they are particularly save..
