Little is known about the wolves here. Their main prey is believed to be garbage and carrion (dead animals).
This post on the Lebanese Wildlife Facebook page shows a wolf. The organization writes: “Unfortunately, due to habitat loss, absence of active laws that protect local wildlife, and lack of environmental awareness, only a tiny population of these wolves remained in Lebanon.”
