The wolf diet was assessed by analyzing 109 scats collected between 2020 and 2022. Scats were placed in paper envelopes, dried in a laboratory drier at 70 °C for five days to eradicate intestinal parasites often recorded in wolf scats in Poland, and stored until the analysis. Subsequently, dry scats were soaked, washed through a 0.5 mm-mesh sieve, dried, and weighed. Food items eaten by wolves were recognized by the remaining elements – hair, fragments of bones, hooves, claws, teeth, and feathers. We identified prey species and/or genera according to the taxonomic keys as well as the comparison to the reference material. In case of doubt (n = 5 samples), DNA isolation and mitochondrial DNA sequencing were performed from the prey remains to identify the species. Genetic material was extracted using the Exgene™ Genomic DNA micro isolation kit, following the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. The products were then sequenced, and the obtained nucleotide sequences were identified using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
