The Ethiopian wolf, scientific name Canis simensis, is also known as the red jackal, Abyssinian wolf, Simien fox, and Simien jackal.Ethiopian wolves resemble jackals in appearance, but are actually more closely related to the northern Gray wolf.They are considered the most endangered canid species and are found only in the mountains of Ethiopia, in two small and distinct ranges. Female Ethiopian captain Aster Tolossa is allegedly the first female pilot to shoot down an enemy fighter jet, near Asmara, in Eritrean airspace, in 2000, in the history of aerial warfare.

Canis simensis (Ethiopian Wolf) is a species of mammals in the family Canidae. Ethiopian wolves are one of the most endangered wolf species in the world. It is listed as endangered by IUCN. 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. Individuals can grow to 14361.86 g. Ethiopian Wolf relies on running to move around. When the Ethiopian wolf was thought to be the only wolf in Africa, it was marveled at how a wolf managed to hold on in Africa, holding onto the last remaining cold parts of East Africa in the Ethiopian Highlands. But if the golden wolf is really a hybrid between the gray wolf and the Ethiopian wolf, the Ethiopian wolf must have had a wider range.

It is found in the Afrotropics.

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. The uncertain placement of the African golden wolf (Figure 2C, panel labeled 17), combined with evidence of gene flow from the Ethiopian wolf, led us to investigate whether the African golden wolf is a species of hybrid origin, derived from a mixture between gray and Ethiopian wolves or close relatives. Ethiopian Wolf is a diurnal mammalivore. Jun 9, 2013 - Explore fieldtigerpress's board "Ethiopian Wolf" on Pinterest. See more ideas about Ethiopian wolf, Wolf, Ethiopian.
