red wolf
Southeastern tawny canid
A red wolf is a canid native to the southeastern United States, smaller than the gray wolf and larger than the coyote, with reddish-brown fur.
Once widespread, the species was declared extinct in the wild and exists now only through captive breeding and limited reintroduction programs.
The name distinguishes it from the gray wolf.
