He jumped over a 3.50 m high sheet pile wall and an electric fence. It was expected that the young wolf resides on a derelict site of the old colliery Count Bismarck, close to the zoo. However, he was spotted allegedly also in Hattingen and Unna. The Zoosprecherin Sabine Haas explained to her that it is indeed possible that the wolf had traveled these routes, but it is likely that he was still residing in the vicinity.
