Yemen at a glance
Little is known about wolves here. Main prey for wolves here are believed to be livestock, garbage and carrion (dead animals).
The World Wildlife Fund has this to say on its website about the Arabian Peninsula, which includes Yemen and Saudi Arabia: The Arabian wolf (Canis lupus ssp. arabs) is now extremely rare and in danger of extinction through persecution and hybridization with feral dogs.
