Ethiopian wolf
The Ethiopian wolf ( Canis simensis ) is a canid native to the Ethiopian Highlands . It is similar to the coyote in size and build, and is distinguished by its long and narrow skull, and its red and white fur. [5] Unlike most large canids, which are widespread, generalist feeders, the Ethiopian wolf is a highly specialised feeder of Afroalpine rodents with very specific habitat requirements. [6] It is one of the world's rarest canids, and Africa's most endangered carnivore . [7]

The Ethiopian wolf ( Canis simensis ), also known as the Abyssinian wolf , Abyssinian fox , red jackal , Simien fox , or Simien jackal is a canid native to Africa . The numerous names reflect previous uncertainty about its taxonomic position, but it is now thought to be related to the wolves of the genus Canis rather than the foxes it superficially resembles. The Ethiopian wolf is found at altitudes above 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in the Afro- alpine regions of Ethiopia , [2] and is the top predator of the ecosystem . It is the most endangered species of canid that has not been extinct in the wild , [3] with only about seven populations remaining, totalling roughly 550 adults. The largest population is found in the Bale Mountains in southern Ethiopia, although there are also smaller populations in the Semien Mountains in the north of the country, and in a few other areas. Claudio Sillero-Zubiri at the University of Oxford is the zoologist most closely associated with efforts to save this species of wolf, particularly with his work for an oral rabies vaccine to protect them from the disease passed from local dogs . His work is supported by the Born Free Foundation . A rabies outbreak in 1990 reduced the largest known population, found in the Bale Mountains National Park , from about 440 wolves to less than 160 in only two weeks. |

The Ethiopian Wolf ( Canis simensis ) is one of the rarest and most endangered of all canids . In Amharic it is called ተኵላ, täkʷula ("wolf"), or ቀይ ቀበሮ qey qebero ("red fox"), and it is also known as the Abyssinian wolf , red jackal , red fox , Semien fox (or jackal ) and jedalafardaa ("horse's jackal"). The numerous names reflect previous uncertainty about its taxonomic position, but it is now thought to be related to the wolves of the genus Canis rather than the foxes it superficially resembles. Recent molecular evidence even seems to indicate that the Ethiopian wolf is a descendant of the Gray Wolf (Gottelli et al 1994). This means that the Ethiopian wolf is the only true wolf in sub-Saharan Africa . |
