Red Wolf is a smaller, thinner cousin of Gray Wolf. A distinctive reddish cast. Red Wolf is world’s most endangered canid, native wolf. Uniquely American, Red Wolf’s entire historical range is confined within the U.S.
It’s lost 99% of historical territory, more than any large carnivore like lions, tigers, snow leopards. Now, Critically Endangered. Agency mis-management, gun-shot mortality, hybridisation, habitat degradation, lack of education all threaten the Red Wolf.
150 Red Wolves in 2017. 20 left in 2019.
Hope we can create effective programs, projects to peacefully co-exist with animals.
