The Arabian wolf (Canis lupus arabs) is a subspecies of gray wolf native to the Arabian Peninsula. It is small, adapted to desert life with short fur and large ears for heat dissipation. This nocturnal predator hunts in pairs or small packs, feeding on small mammals and birds.

The Arabian wolf (Canis lupus arabs) is native to the Arabian Peninsula. This region includes countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, and occasionally Israel. It is known to inhabit areas within these countries where suitable conditions prevail.

The Arabian wolf typically inhabits arid and semi-arid environments. These include desert and steppe regions characterized by low rainfall, high temperatures, and sparse vegetation. The terrain is often rocky or sandy, with minimal water sources.

As a carnivorous predator, the Arabian wolf plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by controlling the populations of prey species. It primarily hunts small to medium-sized mammals, such as hares and rodents, and occasionally feeds on carrion. The species is adapted to survive in harsh desert climates, with physiological and behavioral adaptations that enable it to endure extreme heat and scarce water availability.
