Rarest Wolf

#animals - Less than 500 of the world's rarest wolves live on a handful of mountains in Ethiopia and are on the brink of extinction.

In its stronghold in the Bale Mountains National Park the Ethiopian wolf lives in close contact with the Oromo people, which places the wolf at great risk of catching the rabies virus from the dogs the Oromo use to herd livestock. A team of Oxford University and Ethiopian conservationists are currently battling to save the Ethiopian wolf from a rabies outbreak by creating a ‘barrier’ of vaccinated wolf packs.
