The first wolf to have been spotted in Belgium for more than 100 years has not been seen since May, and environmentalists believe she is likely to have been killed.
The wolf, given the name Naya, was first sighted in Belgium in the north-east province of Limbourg in January 2018. She was fitted with a collar containing a transponder to track her movements.
She was joined in August 2018 by a male companion, named August.
She has not been spotted since May, when she was captured for the last time by one of a network of night-vision cameras operated by the nature agency ANB.
Since then, there has been no sign of her or the cubs she had been carrying, and the batteries in her tracking collar have run down.
