Mogollon Mountain wolf (SciiFii)

The Mogollon mountain wolf (Canis lupus mogollonensis), also known as the Southwestern wolf or the Mongollon wolf, is a subspecies of gray wolf that is found throughout Arizona and New Mexico and was originally extinct in 1935, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to the Mogollon Plateau region of central Arizona, east through the Mogollon Mountains in southeast New Mexico to the Sacramento Mountains in central New Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The Mogollon Mountain wolf has a slightly darker fur color than its more northern cousins, and has a highly arched frontal bone. It is a social pack-hunting carnivore, like all other gray wolf subspecies, mainly preying on elk, deer, pronghorns, sheep, rabbits, peccaries, bison, feral hogs, etc. The conservation status of the Mogollon mountain wolf is Least Concern due due to successful conservation efforts and the Mogollon mountain wolf's wide range.
