Endangered Animals #1: Red Wolf

 

This is my first post about endangered animals (second including my very first post). Today we will be talking about the fascinating, wonderful, and critically endangered Red Wolf! The Red Wolf is not the most endangered it’s one of the endangered. These posts are not in order from most endangered to least endangered.

Red wolves (Canis Rufus) are a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. There are about only 20 Red wolves left in the wild in 2022! They are native to North Carolina, where I live! That’s cool.

Description: Red wolves are mostly brown. There is sometimes a reddish tint to their fur. They may look like a German Shepherd at first glance!  The Red wolf’s size is between the Gray wolf and the coyote.

Fun Facts!

  1. Red wolves are nocturnal!
  2. The Red Wolf’s howl sounds like a coyote’s but is more lower pitched and lasts longer.
