This extremely rare Vietnamese forest wolf is a valuable natural gene source. They are recorded to be distributed in the deep forests of the Central Highlands, Gia Lai and Kon Tum areas. Because they are wild, wolves rarely appear publicly. They often hide in deep forests, only feeding at night.
The rare wolf species in Vietnam often lives in deep forests, on the outskirts of fields, near farms or residential areas in the forest.
They live alone or forage at night. Unlike fire wolves, forest wolves are quite bold, they can enter people’s forests when they have gone to sleep to look for food. Their food is small animals, birds, reptiles, frogs, they also often follow tigers to eat pieces of meat left by tigers.
Wild wolves are very smart, agile, and have the ability to smell and recognize strange smells very well, so not only in Vietnam but in the areas where they are distributed, it is very difficult for people to see and approach this wolf species.
In Vietnam, wild wolves are an extremely rare species, and are a valuable natural genetic resource.
The number of wolves is decreasing due to overhunting and habitat changes, so preserving and protecting this species is very important.
