In Real Life
With a range from north to east Africa, African Golden Wolves are a distinct species of canid similar in aspect to a Golden Jackal. The African Golden Wolves have been described as relatives to Golden Jackals due to similarities in size and appearance, but recent genetic data shows that they have evolved independently, and are more closely related to canids like the Gray Wolf and the Coyote. African Golden Wolves are similar in body build, head shape, teeth and fur color to Golden Jackals, being around 40 cm in height and weighing 7 to 15 kg. Their fur color is yellowish to silver gray, with reddish legs and black spots on their tail and shoulders.
They live in the dry savannas of Africa, as well as in pine wood and oak forests, rocky areas and desert margins. They are omnivorous, as they feed on small mammals such as hares, rodents, lizards and birds, and in a variety of fruits. African Golden Wolves usually create a home den, where a breeding pair and consequent offspring live, and are usually very protective of their territory. The population of this newly identified species is unknown, but they are not really abundant due to habitat loss and lack of prey in their range.
Trivia
