There are two main species of wolves, gray and red.
Red wolves are smaller than gray wolves. Males are 50-85 lbs. and females are 40-75 lbs.
The red wolf is one of the most endangered canids in the world. It’s believed that less than 35 remain in the wild.
They are incredibly intelligent, highly social, and have strong bonds with the members of the pack. They have been known to sacrifice themselves for the safety of others.
Being an apex predator, the eradication of wolves can cause an entire eco system to collapse, known as “trophic cascade”.

The only place red wolves remain in the wild is the Alligator National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern North Carolina.
