In the autopsy lab: the run-over wolf in Zoersel does not seem to be Ben, characteristic tail spot is missing

The autopsy of a wolf found dead in Zoersel suggests it is not the missing wolf Ben, as it lacks distinctive markings. The wolf, weighing 43 kg, likely died from a traffic accident, with injuries consistent with such an event. DNA samples are being analyzed to confirm its identity, with results expected next week. The wolf's stomach contained unidentified remains, possibly from a goat. The INBO will not use the wolf's meat for consumption due to health risks, but will preserve samples for research.
