What are predators of the Ethiopian wolf?

* Spotted hyenas (_Crocuta crocuta_) are the main predators of Ethiopian wolves. Hyenas are larger and more powerful than wolves, and they can easily kill a wolf if they catch it alone.

* Leopards (_Panthera pardus_) are another predator of Ethiopian wolves. Leopards are large, powerful cats that can kill a wolf with a single bite.

* Golden jackals (_Canis aureus_) are smaller than wolves, but they are still a threat to wolf cubs and juveniles. Jackals often compete with wolves for food and territory.

* Domestic dogs (_Canis lupus familiaris_) are also a threat to Ethiopian wolves. Dogs can spread diseases to wolves, and they can also kill wolves outright.
