🐺Ethiopian wolf
Canis simensis, le Loup d'Abyssinie ou Loup d'Éthiopie, également connu sous le nom de Cabéru (de l'amharique kebero) ou anciennement sous celui de Chacal du Simien, est une espèce de mammifères de l'ordre des Carnivores et de la famille des Canidés. Bien qu'il soit désigné sous le nom de « loup », il constitue une espèce distincte. Considéré comme le troisième canidé le plus rare au monde après le Renard de Darwin et le Loup rouge, le Loup d'Abyssinie a une population totale estimée à moins de 500 individus à l'état sauvage, dont 300 dans le parc national des monts Balé au centre de l'Éthiopie. À ce titre il est classé espèce en danger par l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN).
