  Fact file on the grey+5i quj+ecy (r wolf (Canis lupus)

Wolves occur naturally in North America and Eurasia.
Wolves prey on wild animals such as deer, boar and hares, keeping their population numbers in check.
Wolves may prey on domestic animals such as sheep, causing an economic loss to the sheepherder.
A mature female wolf may give birth to 6-8 pups yearly.
Wolves are territorial, claiming a large area of land for their pack.
Humans have hunted wolves to extinction in several countries.
Most countries in the European Union now protect the wolf by law.
Since 2015, wolves have returned to The Netherlands, a small, densely populated northern European country.
Approximately 20% of the land area in The Netherlands is protected in some way or another.
Identify a factor that may limit the growth of the wolf population in The Netherlands.
