However, there are some wolf-like animals that do inhabit deserts, such as:
* African Wild Dogs: These are highly social canids found in the African savannas and grasslands, sometimes bordering on desert regions.
* Coyotes: These adaptable canids are found throughout North and Central America, including desert environments. They are smaller than wolves and have a more diverse diet, including rodents, rabbits, and carrion.
* Dholes: These wild dogs are native to South and Southeast Asia and are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands and scrub forests that can border on desert areas.
While these animals may share some traits with wolves, they are not wolves themselves.
