Three alpacas died in a wolf attack on a farm in western Sweden. The animals were found dead on Monday evening in Marks municipality. Local authorities visited the farm on Tuesday to investigate. They confirmed wolves caused the alpacas' injuries. The incident occurred in Västra Götaland county, a region with established wolf populations. Wolf attacks on livestock remain relatively rare but do occur periodically. Farmers in wolf territories often use protective measures for their animals. This marks another incident in Sweden's ongoing human-wildlife coexistence challenges. The alpaca farm now faces both emotional and economic losses from the attack.
