 Animal Info - Ethiopian Wolf
Hybridization of the Ethiopian wolf with domestic dogs could threaten the genetic integrity of the Ethiopian wolf population, but hybridization is currently confined to one valley in western Bale.
In the late 1980's, domestic dogs were recognized as a threat because they compete with the Ethiopian wolf for food; transmit diseases (such as rabies and canine distemper) and mate with the Ethiopian wolf, thereby hybridizing the species.
Ethiopian wolves are diurnal; peaks of foraging activity suggest that they synchronize their activity with that of rodents above the ground.

 The Ethiopic Calendar
According to the beliefs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, God created the world 5500 years before the birth of Christ and it is 1994 years since Jesus was born.
According to Ethiopian scholars such as Aleqa Kidane Wold Kiflie (aLq kdN Wld kfl), the Ethiopic Calendar A.D. differs from other Christian calendars because of the continuity to these years after completion of the 5500 years and the former is religious while the latter is based on history.
One of the reasons behind the controversy between the Ethiopian and the Gregorian calendars is because Pope Gregory abandoned the rules for calculating Easter and introduced new rules in 1582 without consulting the Alexandrian Church.

After recommendations were submitted, the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Organization decided to intervene with a trial emergency measure, on the grounds that that the species is rare and endangered and that rabies was apparently inadvertently introduced as a byproduct of human activities.
With rabies-endemic dog populations around all Ethiopian wolf populations, further research and trials are required to ascertain the most cost-effective and feasible method to decrease the threat of disease for each population and to control any future outbreaks.

Since there are no factual data from those times, and given the Ethiopian Jews' racial resemblance to native Ethiopians, various theories have been proposed concerning the origins of the community, based on superficial research of their traditions, customs and roots.
Ethiopian Jews are granted full citizenship and receive the full rights given to new immigrants.

 Ethiopian Wolf - Portrait of an Endangered Species   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

The Ethiopian wolf may be an evolutionary relict of a grey wolf-like ancestor which invaded northern Africa from Eurasia where fossils of wolf-like canids are known from the late Pleistocene (Kurtén 1968).
The Ethiopian wolf is a very localised endemic species and is confined to some isolated pockets of afroalpine grasslands and heathlands (Chapter 2), where they prey on afroalpine rodents (Sillero-Zubiri and Gottelli 1995a).
