< Saving Endangered Species Conservation of Ethiopian wolves (Canis simensis)
Rare Ethiopian wolves persist high up in a few montane enclaves of Afroalpine habitat, where they prey upon the abundant rodent communities and live in large family packs with an intricate social organization. These specialized carnivores, close relatives of both grey wolves (Canis lupus) and coyotes (Canis latrans), are only found in a half-dozen isolated mountain pockets of Ethiopia and fewer than 500 individuals survive.
