With less than 500 individuals remaining, Ethiopian wolves are one of the rarest carnivores - three times rarer than giant pandas.  The Ethiopian wolf is threatened by loss of habitat, hybridization with domestic dogs and the spread of lethal diseases carried by domestic dogs. 

The IUCN¹ Red List, which lists all threatened species of animals, classes the Ethiopian wolf as ‘endangered’.
