2  Statistic Norway and The Directorate for Nature Management may have different figures for bear, wolf and wolverines shot under licence and for quota hunting of lynx. E.g. if an animal dies after the quota was stipulated, The Directorate includes that animal in the quota, while Statistics Norway classifies that animal according to cause of death.
