Best Answer

There are many wolves that are seriously endangered or extinct in the wild. The Arabian Wolf and the Vancouver Island Wolf are very rare in the wild while the Mexican Wolf is extinct in the wild. The only existing populations of the Mexican Wolf live in captivity.
The extinct ones.

Alive, the rarest wolf is the Ethopian wolves.

It depends on what you mean by 'rarest mammal'. If you mean the fewest number of members of a mammalian species, you can take a look at this list of the world's 100 most critically-endangered mammals here:

If, however, by 'rarest' you mean most unique, a case could be made that humans top the list. After all, we're the only species on planet Earth capable of the brainpower needed to understand complex and abstract concepts - such as the varying definitions of the word 'rarest'.

The Red wolf is one of the most endangered species in the world. Red wolves are one of the two species of wolves in the world and is at the verge of extinction. The red wolf is smaller than the grey wolf with 4.5-5.5 ft long, around 26 inches tall, and weighs 50-80 pounds.

In 1973, the red wolf was declared endangered and by 1980 it was officially declared extinct in the wild. Thanks to an extensive breeding program, there are currently 100 red wolves alive in the world. Habitat loss, severe weather, deaths by motor vehicles and illegal hunting are the threats facing the red wolves.
