The Mexican Wolf

       The Mexican Wolf, or Canis lupus baileyi, is the most endangered wolf in the world as well as one of the most critically endangered animals in the world. This subspecies of the gray wolf has very few packs left in the wild. With fewer than 85 individuals left in the wild, the Mexican wolf can only be found in Apache National Forest (Arizona), and Gila National Forest (New Mexico). They will kill and eat deer, elk, and javelina, but will also eat an animal carcass if they come across one. With so few numbers, the Mexican Wolf may soon disappear.
