The Texas wolf (Canis lupus monstrabilis) is an extinct subspecies of gray wolf that once ranged across southern and western Texas and northeastern Mexico. It is darker than its more northern cousins, and has a highly arched frontal bone.
Habitat:
Texas wolves once ranged throughout southern and western Texas, southeastern New Mexico and northern Mexico, all the way down to the Mexican border.
Characteristics:
On average, they had a small to medium build. Though they were not quite as small as the Mexican wolf. Most were of a rather dark color, though some specimens have shown that they were occasionally white.
Diet:
Texas wolves mostly preferred large prey as bison made up a large portion of their diet until the herds of bison were wiped out. So, the wolves were forced to switch over to feed on cattle, they were intentionally driven to extinction.
