Wolves come over the sea ice to Kakumäe
Hundid tulevad üle merejää Kakumäele
In April 1917 Tallinna Teataja warned that wolves were roaming the forest between Kakumäe and Tiskre villages in Harku parish, and had already killed a couple of village dogs. People believed the animals had walked across the frozen Gulf of Finland, from Finland or even Sweden, because fishermen had seen them wandering out on the sea ice. The wolves looked big and strong, and villagers were told to be careful when letting their cattle out to graze. Today the same coast is a suburb on the western edge of Tallinn.

1917. aasta aprillis hoiatas Tallinna Teataja, et Harku vallas Kakumäe ja Tiskre küla vahelises metsas hulguvad hundid, kes on juba paar külakoera murdnud. Arvati, et loomad tulid üle jäätunud Soome lahe, kas Soomest või koguni Rootsist, sest kalamehed olid näinud neid merejääl ringi liikumas. Hundid paistsid suured ja tugevad ning elanikel soovitati karja väljalaskmisel ettevaatlik olla. Tänapäeval on sama rannik Tallinna läänepoolne eeslinn.
