The Ethiopian wolf is a rare canid found only in the highlands of Ethiopia. It is known for its slender build, long legs, and distinctive reddish-brown fur. This species primarily hunts small mammals, particularly the Giant Molerat, and lives in packs, which helps them coordinate hunting and protect their territory. Ethiopian wolves are critically endangered, with fewer than 500 individuals remaining in the wild. Their habitat is threatened by factors such as habitat loss, disease, and competition with domestic dogs. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique species and its highland ecosystem.
