No gray wolf sequences were detected in the samples. The study proposes that these findings are inconsistent with the two wolves being subspecies of the gray wolf, that red wolves and eastern Canadian wolves evolved in North America after having diverged from the coyote, and therefore they are more likely to hybridize with coyotes.

Red wolf but refer Synonyms: Audubon and Bachman, 1851 Has a brownish or cinnamon pelt, with gray and black shading on the back and tail. Generally intermediate in size between other North American wolf subspecies and the coyote. Like other wolves, it has almond-shaped eyes, a broad muzzle and a wide nose pad though, like the coyote, its ears ...
Range maps are provided wherever possible; if a range map is not available, a description of the canid's range is provided. Ranges are based on the IUCN Red List for that species, unless otherwise noted. All extinct species (or subspecies) listed alongside extant species went extinct after 1500 CE, and are indicated by a dagger symbol: "†".
Wayne and Jenks (1991) and Roy et al. (1994b, 1996) supported this suggestion with genetic analysis. Phillips and Henry (1992) present logic supporting the contention that the red wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf. However, recent genetic and morphological evidence suggests that the red wolf is a unique taxon.
It calls for spending nearly $328 million over the next 50 years to get the red wolf off the endangered species list. The endangered red wolf can survive in the wild, but only with “significant ...
True members of Canis, namely the gray wolf and coyote, likely only arrived in the New World during the Late Pleistocene, where their dietary flexibility and/or ability to hybridize with other canids allowed them to survive the Quaternary extinction event, unlike the dire wolf. [14] Xenocyon (strange wolf) is an extinct subgenus of Canis. [15]
Here are some of the milestones of the red wolf recovery: 1967: Red wolves are listed as an endangered species for the first time, under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966. The ...
A beautiful Red Wolf strolls by on his path at the Alligator River national Wildlife Refuge. Gregory's wolf (Canis rufus gregoryi), [3] [4] also known as the Mississippi Valley wolf, [2] was a hybrid canine subspecies of the red wolf. It was declared extinct in 1980. [5] It once roamed the regions in and around the lower Mississippi River basin ...
