It is also known as the Simien [[jackal]] or Simien fox. It is similar to the [[coyote]] in size. It has a long and narrow skull, and red and white [[fur]]. The Ethopian wolf only eats Afroalpine rodents. It only lives in [[mountain ranges]] and high [[altitudes]]. It is one of the world's rarest canids. It is Africa's most [[endangered]] [[carnivore]]. The Ethiopian wolf is threatened by increasing human populations, habitat loss through overgrazing, disease and [[interbreeding]] from dogs.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/3748/10051312 |author=Marino, J. & Sillero-Zubiri, C. |date=2011 |title=Canis simensis}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Canids]] [[Category:Mammals o
