Red Wolf

It's strange to write that the good news about the Red Wolf is that there about 100 individuals left in the wild. That's good news because in 1980 the animal was declared extinct in the wild, after the last 17 red wolves were taken into captivity to breed them for reintroduction into remote regions of North Carolina. Historically the Red Wolf ranged throughout the southeast part of the United States, and perhaps at one point as far north as Maine. Historically, and currently, the primary threat to the Red Wolf is loss of habitat as land is converted from forest to agriculture.
