Canis lupus The Canis aureus lupaster also known as Egyptian wolves can be found only in Northern Egypt, the Ethiopian highlands, and Northeastern Libya. It's possible that they

It is rather thin with a coat which is usually tinged gray, beige or a dirty yellow. It is often discribed as lanky and might appear as reasonalbly heavier than it's actual weight. It is larger and longer limbed than other subspecies of the wolf, though smaller than the Arabian Wolf.These wolves are by and large nocturnal.
