What is the Arab wolf?

Arab wolf is a critically endangered, harsh, desert wolf, which is originally from the Arabian peninsula. The Arab wolf weighs almost 40 pounds (18.1 kg) and is almost 2 feet (61 cm) on its shoulders about 2 feet (61 cm) and is almost 2 feet (61 cm) about 2 feet (61 cm) high (61 cm) high (61 cm). With short gray hair, the most significant characteristic of the Arab wolf is his large ears, which helps his body to cope with the high temperatures of his native habitat.

The type of gray wolf, Arabic wolf, canis lupus arabs , differs from other subspecies of gray wolves in several remarkable ways. The Arab wolf does not show, does not live in packages and its middle fingers are fused. With a gray -colored fur, most Arab wolves have yellow eyes, but a large number of individuals have brown eyes, leading scientists to believe that change in eye color indicates a line that includes some ancestors of wild dogs.

For most of history, Arab wolves could be hunted on itIch native territories. It is known that the Arab wolf kills pets, including goats, which led to many wolves to capture the victims of death, poisoning and shooting in the hands of farmers trying to protect their farm animals. Given that wolves' habitats continue to become more urbanized and since interlaced with wild dogs becomes more common, the probability of survival of this wolf subspecies has become weak. Many countries, including Israel and Oman, have approved wolves' legislation, and in some of these areas the populations of the Arab wolves are expected.

Although these wolves kill and eat smaller livestock and gazelles, their diet consists mainly of small mammals such as hares and rodents, as well as birds, reptiles and insects. They will also easily feed on carrion. At the time of food shortages, wolves will eat vegetation.

Arab wolves are specially modified to deal with desert weather. Although their large ears help to distract body heat, inThey dig in the sand to protect themselves from sunlight, and most of their hunting at night. Coats, which are shorter than many other subspecies of gray wolves, increase the coats of Arab wolves in the winter months.

Arab wolves usually live and hunt in pairs or in groups of a maximum of three or four individuals, but this is not the case during the season. The animals are generally formed into small packages from October to December. Arabic puppies are born blind and litter usually consists of two or three puppies. Puppies are treated until they are about six weeks, and parent wolves then start feeding them with regurgitated food. Arab wolves who have puppies, usually not a territorial animal, will defend their area.
