Ethiopian Wolf

• GeneralThe most threatened canid in the world, at fewer than 500 animals; it hunts high-altitude rodents alone.
• It lives in a pack but hunts alone: the group defends the territory collectively and then each animal disperses to stalk rodents on its own, a combination that is rare among canids.
• It has been documented feeding on the nectar of the flowers of the Ethiopian red hot poker, its muzzle stained with pollen, which would make it the largest carnivorous pollinator known.
