It is smaller and more lightly built than the Egyptian wolf, standing 38 cm (15 in) at the shoulder, and 102 cm (40 in) in length. Compared with more the wolf-like Egyptian wolf, the variegated wolf is built more like a greyhound. The ears are somewhat larger than the Egyptian wolf's and the body colour is generally pale stone-buff, with blotches of black.[1] Its main habitat consists of rocky regions, where it feeds on small mammals and birds.[2] The subspecies has been encountered in elevations of up to 5000 feet in the highlands of Abyssinia.[3] References1. ^[https://archive.org/details/gameanimalsofafr00lyde The game animals of Africa (1908) by Richard Lydekker, published by London, R.
