Description
The African golden wolf (Canis anthus) is a canid species that is found in Northern and Eastern Africa, as well as the Middle East. Despite its name, it is not closely related to the true golden jackals of Asia and Europe, but rather belongs to a distinct genetic lineage within the canid family.
African golden wolves have a relatively small and slender build, with reddish-brown fur and a black stripe down their back. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, including deserts, grasslands, and forests.
These wolves are opportunistic predators, and their diet includes a wide range of prey, such as rodents, hares, birds, reptiles, and insects. They are also known to scavenge from the kills of larger carnivores, such as hyenas and lions.
African golden wolves are social animals and typically live in family groups consisting of a breeding pair and their offspring. They communicate with each other through a variety of vocalizations, including yips, howls, and barks.
Despite being widespread and relatively common, African golden wolves are not well-studied, and their conservation status is unclear. However, they are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as by human persecution due to their perceived threat to livestock.
