Hey Cougar you stated you have red wolf coyote mixed packs around your house right?

Where did the Red wolfs come from? Status: Endangered. Population: Once hunted to the brink of extinction, in 1980 fewer than 20 wolves were rounded up by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be bred in captivity. The wolves were officially declared extinct in the wild. By 1987, enough animals had been bred to begin a reintroduction program. Thanks to these programs, there are currently 50 to 80 red wolves in the wild.

Threats: Threats to the red wolf include habitat loss because of human development and illegal hunting.

Survival: It is estimated that red wolves live four years in the wild and up to 14 years in captivity.

some more info:Southeast and SouthCentral United States.That's a pretty long commute to breed with Coyotes in Albany isn't it? Early this century the Red wolf lived as far north as Pennsylvania, as far south as Florida and as west as central Texas.Fact is red wolfs have never lived in this area of the country. Must have been those black helicopters again eh?
Biome: Temperate deciduous forest
Habitat: The last remaining Red wolves live in coastal prairie and marsh areas. Red wolves need between 10 and 100 square miles of habitat to hunt and live.
Diet: Red wolves prefer to eat white-tailed deer and raccoon, but will eat any available small animal.

IUCN Status: ENDANGERED
Pure Red wolves are thought to be extinct in the wild. You sure about this??
