Mexican Grey Wolves

Mexican grey wolves are also known as lobos. Its is the smallest of the five kinds of subspecies of wolf in North America.it varies in size from 50 to90 pound. Its coat is usually a blend of black, white, and grey.The tail and the ears and the legs are often highlighted in black. They form in packs that usally consist of a breeding pair an their offspring. Just like the Canis lupus, all the members of the pack help in raising the young.

Before the 1900s, the Mexican grey wolf ranged throughout Central Mexica, Arizona, New Mexico and Western Texas. They lived in the mountain forests, grasslands, and shrublands but unlike their close relative the coyote, they did not live in low deserts.

Settlers living at that place and time hunted the wolf's prey thus forcing th wolf to turn to feeding on the setter's livestock and this caused settlers to hunt the wolf. By the 1950s, the wolf was wiped out in the united States. Now, they are listed as endangered animals.
