[37] Species that are too small to attract the word "wolf" are called coyotes in the Americas and jackals elsewhere. [38]
It is endemic to Ethiopia's Bale Mountains. [3] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, [1] where it can reach densities of up to 2,600 individuals per square kilometre. [3] It is threatened by habitat loss. [1] Where the two species overlap, it is the main prey of the endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis). [3]
