Wolf cubs on way as Belgium becomes 'wolf crossroads of Europe'

She-wolf in country's north is pregnant, and newcomers from France or Italy spotted in south

Belgium is becoming "the wolf crossroads of Europe", a conservation charity has said as it reported new sightings from France and Germany, while Flemish authorities separately announced the imminent arrival of wolf puppies.

Flanders' environment minister, Zuhal Demir, announced that a pair of wolves in the north of the country were expecting cubs, four months after arrival in the area of a female wolf, Noilla, who was billed as "a potential new love" for a previously lone wolf, August.
