I apologize for the imaginary depredation of endangered species. I just googled “Norwegian wildlife” and picked something. It became a minor conversation topic later so I don’t want to edit it out. In fairness, Bella has no reason to know the conservation status of the Scandinavian population of any megafauna, and Edward is trying desperately at that point to get her to eat and knows carnivores to be more appealing than herbivores, so in the (perhaps wildly unlikely) event that he smelled a wolf near a fjord, he would encourage her to eat it and she’d have no reason to reject it because it has few friends.
