Mexican Wolf

I choose this animal because it's very interesting that this wolf only habits on North Mexico and Texas, this wolf is endangered and actually only habits on captive, the people were killing them because the wolfs were eating the cows of the farmers, humans and habitat destruction pose the greatest threat to Mexican wolves.

This wolf is different of the species in North America, its smaller, its ears longer and its tail shorter.

They eat mammals, specially  javelinas, rabbits, ground squirrels and mice. Mexican wolves prefer to live in mountain forests, grasslands and shrublands, and are very social animals. They live in packs, which are complex social structures that include the breeding adult pair and their offspring.

Today, the Mexican wolf has been reintroduced to the Apache National Forest in southeastern Arizona and may move into the adjacent Gila National Forest in western New Mexico as the population expands.
