Iberian Wolf The Iberian wolf differs from the most common Eurasian wolf by its white marks on the upper lips, the dark marks on the tail and a pair of dark marks in its front legs that give it its subspecies name, Signatus ("marked"). Males can weigh up to 40 kilograms, and females usually weigh between 20 and 30 kg. The Iberian wolf lives in small packs.

It is considered to be beneficial because it keeps the population of wild boar stable. Until the 1900s the Iberian wolf inhabited the majority of the Iberian Peninsula. However, Spain's Francoist government started exterminating them during the 1950s and 1960s that wiped out the animals from all of Spain except the northwestern part of the country, where there is still a sizable population in Sierra de la Culebra.
