		The third species of wolf is the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) which lives in Africa and Ethiopia which has previously been classified as a jackal until DNA research proved it to be a true wolf.
		The gray wolf, commonly referred to as tundra wolf or timber wolf, is the largest of all wild canids, although its size varies noticeably throughout its large range including Minnesota, Michigan and Montana in the United States and many remote areas of Canada, Alaska and Europe.
		Wolf numbers tend to decrease as the herds are thinned and hunting success diminishes, allowing the natural vegetation to recover, and individual herd members are better fed and able to evade the attacking wolves.

	Animal Info - Ethiopian Wolf
		Wolf populations occur north of the Rift Valley in the Simien Mountains, Mount Guna, North Wollo and South Wollo highlands, and Menz.
		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.
		Ethiopian wolves are diurnal; peaks of foraging activity suggest that they synchronize their activity with that of rodents above the ground.

	Lioncrusher's Domain -- Ethiopian Wolf (Canis simensis) facts and pictures
		The ethiopian wolf has long been considered to be a species of jackal, due to its appearance and its range.
		It is suggested from DNA analysis that the Ethiopian wolf is descended from grey wolves that crossed into Africa from Western Europe at the end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago.
		From 1990-95, 70% of the Bale Mountain wolf population was decimated from disease caused by the farmer's dogs.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Articles - Ethiopian wolves on high
		An Ethiopian wolf stands about 60cm at the shoulder - its legs are longer than those of a fox - and its snout, specialised for sniffing out rats in their burrows, is the longest of any canid.
		Ethiopian wolves are found only in the country of their name and, with fewer than 450 individuals remaining, they are the rarest canids in the world.
		Ethiopian wolves are suspicious of people, and if they spot someone in their territory they go on full alert, letting out high-pitched yelps - alarm calls that tell the rest of the pack of the intruder.

	Expansion of the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme to Northern Ethiopia
		Ethiopian wolves have been the subject of a long-term study in Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP), in Southern Ethiopia, and have recently been studied in the Menz area of Central Ethiopia, as part of a larger sustainable use programme of the Zoological Society of London.
		In 1998 and 1999, the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP), a WildCRU undertaking supported by the Born Free Foundation (a UK based NGO), conducted preliminary surveys in all suitable afroalpine habitats in the Amhara Region, northwest of the Rift Valley, leading to an increase of the estimated global population of C.
		Wolf populations in the Amhara Region survive in such fragmented and small areas of habitat that short-term as well as long-term conservation strategies are needed for their safeguard.

	Rabies in Ethiopian Wolves \| CDC EID
		Overall, the Bale Mountains wolf population was estimated to have declined from ≈450 to 120–160 animals in the early 1990s (9).
		Wolf trapping and vaccination began in mid-November in packs adjacent to those already affected, and 69 wolves were trapped and vaccinated up to the middle of February in two high-density wolf areas, Sanetti (n = 33) and Morebawa (n = 36), outside of the core rabies-affected area.
		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.

		The first written mention of Ethiopian wolves dates to the 13th century, when records indicate that they were widespread and friendly to humans.
		Ethiopian wolves tend to travel in packs of six members and feed mostly on rodents, particularly the giant molerat, another native of the Bale mountains.
		An Ethiopian native, the wattled ibis is a sociable bird (usually travelling in flocks of 50 to 100 members) and its resounding "haa-haa-haa-haa" call can be heard from miles away.

	EWCP - press release
		The current Ethiopian wolf population in Bale was estimated at 300 (of the global total estimate of 500) wolves.

	Wolf information Ethiopian Wolf at Animal Corner
		The Ethiopian Wolf is one of the rarest and most endangered of all canids.
		In 1997 the IUCN Canid Specialist Group published an Action Plan for the Conservation of the Ethiopian Wolf, aiming to move forward with the conservation of the species across the country.
		The most important results were from the Wollo Administrative Zone, where wolf presence was not widely known, and was confirmed in a number of habitat areas during the EWCP surveys, leading to an estimate of around 80 wolves in the area.

	Rabies vaccinations could help save Ethiopian wolf
		Ethiopian wolves are restricted to seven isolated montane populations, one with about 250 and the rest with roughly 20-80 wolves.
		To see if disease management would also benefit the other Ethiopian wolf populations, Haydon and his colleagues used a model that accounted for factors including the level of rabies incidence in the dog population and the wolves' habitat sizes (from 25-250 km2, which is the range of habitat sizes of the remaining wolf populations).
		Haydon and his colleagues found that when there was no rabies, all the wolf populations were fairly stable -- even those as small as 25-50 and in the smallest habitat patches.

		Note: Around 1900, because of genetic testing, the title of this species was changed from "jackal" to "wolf" because the tests found that the species was actually a close relation to wolves but a distant relation to jackals.
		Ethiopian Wolves were reported in Ethiopian provinces as early as the 19th century.
		Presently the wolf is restricted to populations in Simen, Mt. Guna, Northeastern Shoa, Bale and Arsi massifs and in 1998 a new population was discovered in the unexplored mountain range of South Wollo in northern Ethiopia.

	Rabies in endangered Ethiopian wolves
		In the last few weeks there has been an outbreak of disease, confirmed as being rabies, among the Ethiopian wolves in the Bale Mountains. The Bale Mountains is home to the most important population of this endangered species that is endemic to Ethiopia.
		The current Ethiopian wolf population in Bale was estimated at 300 (of the global total estimate of 500) wolves. Since September 2003, 20 wolves have died in the Web valley within the Bale area.
		Where resources allow, additional vaccination of dogs has been conducted in areas adjacent to wolf range, although coverage levels achieved were lower than within wolf range. The vaccination campaign has also benefited local communities by reducing the public health risk and economic cost of livestock loss associated with rabies.
