The Red Wolf

Who Am I? Scientific names: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Genus: Canis Species: C. rufus

Species: Canis Rufus Canids diverged from other carnivores around 60 million years ago. Taxonomy status is widely debated Genetic and Morphological evidence has suggested that the red wolf is a unique species Some sources claim that Mitochondrial DNA analyses don’t show them as a separate species from gray wolves or coyotes but that they could be a hybrid.

Geographic Range Historical Range & Population: Were throughout the Southeastern U.S Pennsylvania to Florida and to the west as far as Texas Forests, wetlands, swamps, and bushlands The exact number of wolves was not recorded until the 1970s when it was believed that there was to be fewer than 100. Today’s Status: Wild populations are located about 1.7 million acres of northeastern North Carolina

Why Endangered? Extrinsic: By the 1960s the population of red wolves had dramatically declined and in 1973 were declared an endangered species. Extrinsic: Habitat loss due to woodlands being cleared for agriculture Trapped and killed Intrinsic: Hybridization has been a threat as isolated individuals crossbreed with the Canis Latrans (a related coyote)

Recovery Plan and Status In 1987 there was an efficient number of Red Wolves breed in captivity to start the restoration. Fourteen of the last seventeen purebreed wild wolves were captured and then used in a breeding program. About 100 red wolves are living in their natural habitat as of now due to the program. Conservation: Efforts and awareness began in 1967 Reintroduction of captive-bred Red Wolves This map shows the historical range and founding source population.
