From Wikipedia

The Sicilian wolf (Canis lupus cristaldii) is an extinct subspecies of the gray wolf that was endemic to Sicily. It was smaller than the mainland Italian wolf and had paler fur. It colonised Sicily during the Pleistocene, together with several other large carnivorans, but it was the only one to have survived to the Holocene. The subspecies reportedly went extinct due to human persecution in the 1920s, though there were several possible sightings up to the 1970s. It was identified as a distinct subspecies in 2018 through morphological examinations of the few remaining mounted specimens and skulls, as well as mtDNA analyses.
