Can someone tell me more about the red wolf?
The following is from Wikipedia in the first link, the second and third are images of the red wolf. The Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is the rarest wolf species and is one of the most endangered animals in the world. It once roamed throughout Southeastern United States. Aggressive predator control programs, hunting and agriculturalization have combined to bring the red wolf near to extinction, because it was thought to be a threat to livestock. It is thought that its original distribution included much of eastern North America, where Red Wolves were found from Pennsylvania in the east, Florida in the south, and Texas in the west. On the basis of further study, its historic range is now thought to have extended further north into the northeastern USA and extreme eastern Canada. There are thought to be only 249 red wolves remaining in the world, and 200 of those reside in captivity.[1]For decades, the Red Wolf has been indistinguishable genetically from either the Gray Wolf or the Coyote.[ 2 ]
