Ethiopian Wolf
The Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is a canid native to the Ethiopian Highlands. It is similar to the coyote in size and build, and is distinguished by its long and narrow skull, and its red and white fur.[3] Unlike most large canids, which are widespread, generalist feeders, the Ethiopian wolf is a highly specialised feeder of Afroalpine rodents with very specific habitat requirements.[4] It is the world's rarest canid, and Africa's most endangered carnivore.[5] The Ethiopian wolf is listed as Endangered by the IUCN, on account of its small numbers and fragmented range.

So, she took it upon herself to keep them cozy and fed.
