Native to North America, the red wolf once ranged throughout the entire southeastern U.S. from the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, as far north as southern Ontario and west to southern Missouri and central Texas. Several innovative recovery tactics were first attempted by this program, with a great deal of success, including pup fostering and coyote sterilizations.After reaching an estimated 130 red wolves in the wild in the late 2000s, the population has since declined dramatically. In 2016, the Service made securing the captive population a priority and set a goal of a minimum of 400 animals with 52 breeding pairs in the captive population. The Red Wolf Center also offers red wolf educational talks to school and other groups. Other threats, such as habitat fragmentation, disease, and human-caused mortality, are of concern in the restoration of red wolves. Currently less than half of the red wolves have orange collars.Due to declining population size and the mortality of one or both red wolves in established breeding pairs, there were no known red wolf pups born in the wild in 2019, which is the first time that has occurred in over 30 years. The purpose of these calls is to:On Dec.10, 2019, the Service held a joint public information session with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission regarding the red wolf recovery efforts and management of canids on the Albemarle Peninsula. It mates in January–February, with an average of 6-7 pups being born in March, April, and May. This winter, the Service moved the sub-adult male red wolf from St. Vincent NWR to Alligator River NWR, in hopes of forming a new red wolf breeding pair with a female red wolf already residing on Alligator River NWR.Additionally, the Service moved an adult male red wolf from Alligator River NWR to Pocosin Lakes NWR to attempt to form a new red wolf breeding pair with a female already residing on Pocosin Lakes NWR.Both pairs of red wolves were placed in acclimation pens temporarily with their new perspective mates until being released on mid-February 2020. The eastern timber wolf (Algonquin Provincial Park) is genetically closely related to the Great Lakes wolf (Minnesota, Isle Royale National Park). Of the original 43 animals, only 17 were considered pure red wolves and since three were unable to breed, 14 became the breeding stock for the captive-breeding program.In 2007, the USFWS estimated that 300 red wolves remained in the world, with 207 of those in captivity.Interbreeding with the coyote has been recognized as a threat affecting the restoration of red wolves. The red wolf’s historical range included the southeastern United States from southern Missouri south to Texas, across the Gulf Coast states and into North Carolina. The largest cause of this decline was gunshot.In June 2018, the USFWS announced a proposal that would limit the wolves' safe range to only Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, where only about 35 wolves remain, thus allowing hunting on private land.A red wolf in a breeding program. Of the 400 canids captured, only 43 were believed to be red wolves and sent to the breeding facility. Telemetry studies in eastern North Carolina indicate that red wolf home range requirements vary from about 20 to 80 square miles.Although the exact diet of red wolves varies depending on available prey, it usually consists of a combination of white-tailed deer, raccoons and smaller mammals such as rabbits, rodents and nutria. When the red wolf was first designated as a species “threatened with extinction” under the Endangered Species Preservation Act in 1967, the U.S. By 1972, the species was reduced to a small coastal area in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana (see map above). By this time, there were approximately 63 individuals in the captive population and the SSP was actively growing the population through the coordinated efforts of the SSP partner facilities, making reintroduction efforts possible.Recovery efforts in the wild began in northeastern North Carolina with the establishment of a nonessential experimental population, under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act, on Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in 1987.

This article is about the wild canid. Early explorers found some in Indiana and Wisconsin. The study proposed that the specimens were either coyotes and this would mean that coyotes had occupied this region continuously rather than intermittently, a North American evolved red wolf lineage related to coyotes, or an ancient coyote–wolf hybrid. Management of the nonessential experimental population of red wolves in eastern North Carolina is conducted in accordance with the In 1990, the Service established an island propagation site for the red wolf at In November 2019, there was an adult female, two sub-adults, and three pups living on St. Vincent NWR. The red wolf is an opportunistic feeder and can travel up to 20 miles a day or more to find food, which can be consumed at a rate of two to five pounds daily.Red wolves are social animals that live in close-knit packs. Ancient hybridization between wolves and coyotes would likely have been due to natural events or early human activities, not landscape changes associated with European colonization because of the age of these samples.The theory proposed was that this pattern matched the south-to-north disappearance of the wolf due to European colonization and its resulting loss of habitat.
