Rumors that a wolf was wandering near the Great Wall, a landmark for sightseers and mountaineers, caused widespread fear among residents over the past week.

"We set many traps in the nearby mountains last Friday, when we received a digital image of the wolf-like animal shot by a villager," said the forestry spokesman.

"We wouldn't have interfered had it been seen in a remote place," he said. "But this time we cannot put the safety of the Great Wall visitors at risk."

A survey conducted in 2000 found about 20 wolves in mountains in the northern suburbs of Beijing, said Wang Minzhong, a chief wildlife preservation specialist with Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape and Forestry.

Wang Zengnian, deputy chief of Beijing Wildlife Protection Association, said wolves disappeared from Beijing in the 1950s, but there were occasional reports from individual farmers claiming they had spotted the animal.
