The Ethiopian wolf

The Ethiopian wolf is a bright orangery chestnut color with a long snout pointy ears and long legs. The wolves live packs. The packs are formed of about 3-13 adults and there is a about 1-7 pups in each pack at a time. The wolves although live in packs, They hunt alone. There diet consists of about 90% bring rodents that they catch. Their favorite meal is the giant mole rat. The wolf is most commmonly found 3,000m above sea level.

The wolves population is starting to dwindle down. They are becoming one f the rarest animals found on the planet. There numbers are falling because there is a lot of farming from local people and it is quickly taking up the animals hunting ground. Another reason is that the animal use to hunt in packs for larger prey but then they found an appetite fro small rodents. Since the rodent population began to fall from rising temperatures there is less prey for the wolf. The wolf is now to be and endangered animal and is soon possibly going to be critically endangered.
