Hi my dear readers! today I'm going to
talking about of mexican grey wolf, this animal are a subspecies of wolf one of
the most little, In 1976 it was declared a subspecies in danger but
there situation was bad, as currently is classified at UICN as extinct in wild
status.
Characteristics
- Is a beautiful animal of night habits, and they lives in herds of 5 to 12.
- They life expectancy are 8 to 13 years in wild status, and 12 to 15 years in captivity.
- They fur is grey and sometimes with reddish.
- They feed mainly of moose, deer, rabbit and rodents.
Why de animal is in danger?
The extinction has been largely because of
persistent control to eliminate this animals that will not attack to the
cattle, throughout the century XX the animals reduce in Mexico mainly for this
reason, there may still remain some hundreds in the 50´s, but in decade of 70’s
was no more than 50 grey wolf’s, and in the 90’s was only 10. Now the wolf’s
just are of 260 between United States an Mexico, all in captive or controlled
areas.
Now, what do you think?
So sad that there are no more wolves in their natural habitat. But good news that there are still some of them and the numbers are growing! That's good news!
