Red Wolf

The Red Wolf almost vanished from wilderness due to habitat loss and because they were killed for being a beast that attacked domesticated animals and humans. Recent efforts to return them to the wilderness have helped to slowly bring their numbers back.There used to be a broad population of Red Wolf living in the southern part of the United States. Today, the only ones in existence are those in sanctuaries in North Carolina. They like to eat small animals like rats and rabbits. The Red Wolf has also been known to occasionally attack large animals such as deers and boars. They also eat crabs, insects, and carcass meat.The Red Wolf looks like a coyote except for its larger build. They live in families, or packs, and display excellent teamwork, working together with other wolves to hunt and to raise their offspring.
