Yeah, my mistake (sorry I'm out of practice in english writing).
I'm pretty sure that it was a true spider because the body was clearly segmented unlike the opiliones.
Actually is a "she" and the history is this:
By over 30 years, the mexican wolf was declared extinct in México (quite ironic, don't you think?). Thats why, in an common effort among academy, goverment and ngo´s was created the proyect for the rescue of this prioritary species for conservancy.
In october´s past year were liberated a group of five wolfs (the herds of mexican wolf are smaller than the gray wolf packs) in a discret location in northern of México's territory. This is the first intent for recover the specie and, of course, the related ecosystem along my country.
The collar shown in the photography is a satellite tracker for the safety and control of the group of animals (the ranchers weren't very happy about the reintroduction of the wolf).
I hope that the mexican wolf will survive.
Maybe it is the perspective, because te segmentation of the body was clear enough. Definitively it´s a spider (Araneae).
