Winter food habits of wolves in central Greece DESPOINA MIGLI, DIONISIOS YOULATOS* and YIORGOS ILIOPOULOS Department of Zoology, School of Biology, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece Abstract In the recent years wolf feeding habits have been studied throughout the Mediterranean, but data from Greece, where a viable population exists, are still lacking. This short note presents results on the winter food habits of wolves from central Greece based on a limited sample of scats. We used four scat analysis methods, frequency, occurrence, volume, and biomass to describe wolf diet. Wolves preyed heavily on domestic ungulates, primarily pigs and goats, whereas wild boar was the main wild prey. Although our results should be considered with caution, they appear to support analogous studies from other Mediterranean countries, where domestic animals represent the main target of wolves, resulting in an intensification of human-wolf conflict.   < back .
