FWS Digital Media Library — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Digital Library is a searchable collection of selected images, historical artifacts, audio clips, publications, and video.The Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), also known as the lobo, is a subspecies of gray wolf native to southeastern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and northern Mexico; it also previously ranged into western Texas. It is the smallest of North America’s gray wolves, and is similar to C. l. nubilus, though it is distinguished by its smaller, narrower skull and its darker pelt, which is yellowish-gray and heavily clouded with black over the back and tail.

Though once held in high regard in Pre-Columbian Mexico, it is the most endangered gray wolf in North America,
