Ethiopian Wolf Hunts for Pups | Africa's Hidden Wonders | National Geographic Wild UK

Ethiopia is a wilderness of extremes, where life has had to adapt in order to survive. This ancient land has cradled life since the dawn of time, and beyond the scorched deserts lie fortified mountains that conceal wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Including Ethiopian wolves, one of the rarest predators in the world.

If it's so special, why did you leave?

[@senait5092]

How beautiful and delicate looking these wolves are. I find they resemble a cross between coyote and fox.

[@PLATOON72]

Yes, exactly. I guess it's a species that biologists have been wrong to categorize.

[@MrMarkar1959]

or maybe a dingo. but they are purdy canines

[@Farhan917]

@Pierre Romeo Henry Maybe they learned from their environment 🤔

[@yseson_]

@@PLATOON72 they actually are a species of wolf

[@Aethuviel]

@@yseson_ "Wolf" is just a name. Domestic dog is a subspecies of grey wolf, which is "the" wolf. Coyote or prairie wolf is their closest relative, with the golden wolf and African wolf (recently split into two species, previously known as the golden jackal) close to them. The Ethiopian wolf is further away, still, then there are the dhole (Asiatic wild dog), African wild dogs/painted dogs/painted wolves (no one can decide what their name is), and maned wolves (South American canine that looks like a fox on stilts). Dog or wolf, it's just a name, and "THE wolf" is the same species as "THE dog". :)

I love these series 💖thank you

[@derejenegewo1073]

Bale Mountains, the world's biggest Afro Alpine resort found in the Ethiopian southern highlands. Visitors prepare for temperature extremes hot in the day, very very cold at night and watch the elevation too. But you get splendid walking trails( nowhere on planet earth) in return.

[@suelargen6702]

I think that is Simien, although I have seen them in Arusssi.

[@r.ssumedh7626]

Ethiopia is beautiful. Looks like the lower Himalayan foothills.

[@etownump]

Ethiopian people will possibly be the cause of this animal's extinction. I hope the people of Ethiopia can prevent this animal from going extinct. I hope they can save this creature, instead of being like a virus that kills it.

[@angelaeriksen4436]

Can conservations please save these super endangered Ethiopian wolves?? There are less than 500 left.

[@derejenegewo1073]

Ethiopia is were you can find the beauiful earth provides in one geographic location; High altitude, large rivers, lakes, green savanna, alkaline/salty lake, arid deserts, incredible rock hewn churches( Lalibela), the world;s biggest Afro Alpine resort ( Bale Mountains), green wonderland Europe in Africa ( wonchi crater).

Me neither. But these aren't properly "wolves". Be always a bit skeptical about modern science.

You can find wolves in every continent so

[@mikimarkos4696]

Well, Ethiopian highlands are close to 3000 meters above sea level. The temperature is really cold and in many ways similar to what is found in temperate areas. I'm not surprised there is a wolf there

[@maskagamers6952]

It will be good if the government add more big prey like Impalas

[@wisewigga7129]

There are big preys in Ethiopia but these wolves do not hunt large animals and its better to control rodents

[@notsonerdgaming3406]

These guys prefer small prey. They as quick and thinly snooted for doing so. So adding bigger game would only increase larger predators or outcompete smaller prey
