Wolf attacks woman in German shopping center in first such incident since species returned to wild

A wolf attacked a woman in a shopping center in the port city of Hamburg, Germany, marking the first recorded attack on a human since wolves returned to the country's wilderness areas. The incident occurred in a commercial shopping area in Hamburg, one of Germany's major cities and ports. Wolves were reintroduced to Germany's wild areas after being absent for decades, and their population has been gradually recovering across the country. The attack represents an unusual and concerning development, as wolves typically avoid human contact and such direct encounters in urban commercial areas are extremely rare.
