RED WOLVES - One of the world's rarest wolves 

What a beautiful and affectionate wolf keeping her company during the narrative. A true ambassador of his "people".

Touchdown!! Washington Redwolves!

If Red Wolf populations were at a good level, and they weren't hunted almost to extinction, then we wouldn't have such a bad problem here in the south east US with feral hogs.

The Grey wolf's howl made me shiver.. Hehe

I love the Red wolves, never knew they sounded similar to coyotes

RED WOLVES ARE MY FAVORITE WOLF!!! I love them!!

I'm an avid outdoorsman and I've seen Red Wolves in the Missouri Ozarks twice in my lifetime, once in 1989 and again just last week.

The red wolf's downfall was it's personality and it's inability to adapt. I actually had the privilege to enter the enclosure that held the last 12 grown red wolves captured in the coastal region of southeast Texas. The wolves were not terrified of us they actually wanted to come near us and see what we were doing in their space. The enclosure was only about 5 feet tall with a wire top and I am 6'4". It was a little unsettling. It was a really large enclosure with a large amount of brush making it hard for a human to maneuver in. They had one female that had just been captured and she was the most beautiful wild canine I had ever seen. She was being held in a small isolation area to get her health papers in order. I walked up to her enclosure and knelled down to look at her and she only gave me a stare. There was no fear or anxiety in her eyes. A coyote or any other wild canine would have gone ballistic and threatening with me only being approximately 4' from here. That was over 40+ years ago and I can still see the sadness in her eyes. Anneka you need to get a copy of a book titled "The Wolf In The Southwest"edited by David E. Brown. You can get a paper back copy from The University of Arizona Press in Tucson Arizona. It will explain how we disrupted the natural order of things in the world of our wild canines. I appreciate the work you are doing to help the wolf. God bless you.

Beautiful creature. Let's not allow it to go extinct

thank you for all you do you're truly you're truly an ambassador of the purest form

I really hope that these wolves don't become extinct. I've been trying to do things to help them (like giving my birthday money to red wolf charity's) Do you know anything I could do to help?

I like red wolves, they’re pretty cool!

That wolf is like a pet. So happy and calm.

I’ve been a member of the International Wolf Center for years now and I’m an animal activist for saving our wildlife species and especially wild Wolves 🐺. Thank You Anneka for sharing this and bringing attention to the plight of the animals. Hopefully people will listen and see how important it is to save them from extinction. A’ho

They are beautiful

Hello from Ontario Canada. We have Eastern Coyotes here, they are also called Coywolves and their physiology is that of something between a coyote and a wolf. It is thought to be a hybrid. There are documentaries here on RU-vid about them. They remind me of the red wolf. Keep up the amazing work Anneka!!!

I am a follower of the wolf conservation center, thank you for spreading the awareness. Liked and shared.

Wolves are amazing!

Maybe the Washington Football team will chip in once they are the RedWolves.

This wolf is so lovely Beautiful animals

HAIL TO THE REDWOLVES!!!

So glad you made a video about the red wolf, we have a local population of them but they are so rare and nocturnal that many of the locals have never seen one.

Red Wolves are beautiful❤🐺

We got to help Red wolves all wolves are my favorite animal

Red wolves are my favorite animal

I'll try to save them

I once met a Red Wolf/Malamute cross (illegally bred). What a wonderful loving gorgeous wolfdog! She was prone to running off though and sadly was lost for good one day. I hope someone took good care of her. She was a darling. She needed a larger fenced in area than she had to run in.

Absolutely beautiful.

The Red Wolf is ny Spirit Animal. ❤🐺

Dan snyder better watch this

Will share. Hi I am from eastern North Carolina but live in Colorado now. Thank you So much for sharing this information about our Red Wolves, 🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺 Thank you Anneka, So well Appreciated and again, sharing 🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺♥️🐺

Dan Snyder, help save our Red Wolves!

I know they don't live here anymore, but I swear that's the animal that trotted right past me in my back yard a few weeks ago near Charlotte. It was much too big for a fox (which we have in the area). At first I thought it was a coyote, but it was bigger and so red. We've had a coyote at work that I've looked at on security camera, but whatever strolled past me that day (and I've seen a pair since) looked more like this red wolf than a coyote. Whatever I've been seeing is a beautiful animal whose red fur just glows in the sun and very athletic. It was so much bigger than a fox and also bigger than a coyote (and prettier). I have never heard howling however. I could swear it was a red wolf, it really looked just like this. Supposedly they are only found in eastern NC, but I truly believe that's what I've been seeing these past few weeks.

HTTR

These are my favorite wolves! Please don't go extinct!!

I live in Texas in the hill country . I believe I’ve seen two red wolves . One running with coyotes and one alone . They looked a lot like a coyote but larger in body and longer fur and full tail . Everybody that has seen it said it was almost dog sized but looked like a coyote.

The one red wolf with the collar is sooo cute

wolves so beautiful. ^^~

Gorgeous, Beautiful Colors. 🐾🐾❤

Love you Anneka keep being amazing!!!!💖

So rare i cant believe i can see so many in one video

Look at his lil tail wagging....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow their beautiful and cute 😱

Another great video, thanks Anneka : )

Thank YOU SOOOOO MUCH BECAUSE I NEED MORE OF AN IDEA FOR MY PRESENTATION

Great video. The coyotes in my area (Pennsylvania) sound very like the red wolf. I've recently heard much about eastern coyotes actually being a mix of eastern timber wolf and coyote, which seems to confound the problem of the red wolf keeping its pure genes if it is still interbreeding with other species.

Its Sad that their threatened 😟

I have one. The refuge listed her as a hybrid, because it is illegal in my state without license. Well. She has been rescued. Unfortunately she has been sprayed. Anyhow, we have a red wolf ... just 2 years old to live a wonderous life!

I love red wolves they are my favourite animal, and it's so sad how they are in the edge of extinction

My cats absolutely freaked out when they heard the wolf houling.

My first female wolfdog was claimed to be a descendant of Lapponian Herder crossed with Red Wolf. I realize that's highly unlikely, but her conformation and her way of howling sure match the beautiful examples you're showing here. Chinook was her name, and I used to commonly refer to her as "you bat-eared beauty!". Maybe her forebears on the "wolf" side were Red wolf Coyote mixes?

I have been in the woods of Alabama many times throughout my life and have only seen 1 red wolf ever. It was a special moment.

Here because of Redskins name change 2020

I love this! My spirit animal/theriotype is a red wolf. They are adorable

Red wolfs are beautiful

I live and have land in North Central Texas. I got a picture off my game camera that looks remarkably like a Red Wolf. And I have heard that distinctive howl on several occasions. I just always thought it was coyotes. Now, I'm not sure.

Thank you

We have some red wolf- coyote, hybrids where I live, and they are beautiful. I walked for three years too and from work day and night, and they never, never approached me in any aggressive manner, more curious than aggressive. But as more and more swamp land, and woodlands are being cleared, then they have too relocate, which is heartbreaking. I grew up in a nice woodland area in Florida, there were swamps, woods, open pastures, but, unfortunately, it's all gone. The sand mine moved in and stripped the land of all available resources, and got fined for breaking through the aquafer, and now the mining is gone, but there is thousands of years of beauty, that was destroyed, all of that destruction, for clay, and limestone.for housing development. Makes me sick too the core.

We have a good number of coyotes in the area where I live (NE Georgia), and I often hear them yipping and howling at night. Last night, though, i heard howling that sounded very different from the coyotes and definitely wasn't dogs.....so naturally I get on the interwebz to see what I can find. Based on the sound on this video and others, I'm sure it was red wolves. Pretty cool!

1:30 aww so cute are dog does that to its so cute😍

Any other "Redskins" fans up in here??? HTTR

There's red wolves in Galveston, TX!

We must save these wolves! Only around 40 left! We need a predatorial animal in the southern United States to keep other animal populations in check! Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue.

We've been getting more and more "coywolves" in US. My dog and I were followed by a huge coyote or perhaps a coywolf last year in June. It was not easy to persuade it to go away. The coywolves seem to look a lot like the red wolves you are showing. DNA tests have found wolf DNA in coyotes.

That wolf is better behaved than my dog lol

I'd love it if you commented on the African wolf (Canis anthus, not Canis simensis), which was recently discovered.

Lived in Arkansas as a kid, we lured a wild dog, hanging out in the woods behind our home with food. Turned out to be a chow and red wolf hybrid. We named her Goldie.

I believe you.

I had a pedigree red wolf when I was a boy. I loved more than any dog I ever had and she loved me like I was one of her pup's. RIP Peachy, not a day goes by that I don't miss you girl.🐺😔🐺😔🐺

Red wolves are so cute, im literally busting UWUs

is that Kumi ? she's such a gentle soul

Even wolves helicopter tail! I love !

Definitely in South Carolina now as well spotted one on Myrtle Beach, Early one morning when I went for a walk with my dog to watch sunrise, it was definitely a red wolf, and took off running fast, rite by the big ritzy houses back yards on sand dunes and gone almost instantly.

I Love those Animals We Must Continue Preserving and Protecting those Canids!!!

Any else here because of Reigraw

I live In northern Arkansas, Ive probably seen these thinking they were coyotes. I would love to help to preserve the population of them here

Beautiful creatures

Simplemente hermosas criaturas.

They have new pups over at The Wolf Conservation Centre, they are beautiful!

I live in deep, southeast Louisiana. And I've got a Red Wolf of around 100 to 110 pounds who has been within 50 feet of me on 5 separate occasions in the last month or two. I sit outside on my back porch for many hours at night. And he keeps coming up here trying to get to the possums that live in a line of trees beside my house. He is getting braver... He doesn't run away from me anymore... He only jogs away when I move towards him. His head is quite large. His paw prints are as well. I may need to be more careful as it gets colder. Because he will definitely be back.

The problem with "red wolves" is the most recent full-genome analysis of them has revealed that they are hybrids with an extinct population of wolves that lived in East Texas and southwest Louisiana, and that the studies that pointed to them being an ancient wolf species were really quite in error. The other thing that study found is that coyotes are not vastly genetically different from wolves. They didn't diverge a million years ago, but only about 50,000 years ago. All extant wolf lineages appear to have evolved within the last 45,000 years, so coyotes are not much genetically distinct from wolves than wolves are from each other. Coyotes are jackal-like wolves, not American jackals. I support wolf reintroduction and the ESA, but I think holding onto "red wolves" as a species really hurts the cause. The Mexican wolf is, however, critically endangered, and no one argues that it is genetically distinct.

Stay tuned- Washington may take the name of the Red Wolf as their NFL team, the Washington Redwolves!!!

You my lady are incredibly beautiful.

Before refrigeration, people and wolves were in direct compatition.

It’s shitty that they are are so endangered, I want one as a pet

I have seen red wolves once. I am from MS , there was three of them chasing a fox across a field. I could tell it wasn't a coyote or a husky. They have a beautiful color. They see protected here in Mississippi.

Mother wolf be like 1234... Wait where did these ones come from? Ah oh well mine now.

he is so beautiful!!!!

I realize they are dangerous wild animals, but...they are so cute!! 😍 Looks like a doggy tbh

My grand father talked about the red wolf back when it was still in Missouri

Nice video, amazing!

Power packed with information ... Thank you 😊❤️

I looked up red wolves course I seen there was only 35 left

I think people should make Wildlife crossings for Red Wolves, so they would have no risk of being run over by vehicles.

I live in up State NY....Red wolves are all over up here...

Interesting to hear the red wolves were thriving before Europeans came over. That just means the Native Americans knew how to respect nature.

The wild wolves living in Spain (few as they are) aren't red wolves too? I remember hearing something like that, not sure tho'...

What makes you a wolf expert? Just wondering; not doubting your credentials. I have handled hundreds of coyotes and got to see the last of the wild red wolves captured in Texas and shipped to Tacoma Washington. Words can't explain the beauty of the coloration of the pure red wolf. The cinnamon coloration on the muzzle and fore legs is beautiful. Yea, I love these animals. It really made me sad to see them go. They have been killed and bred out of existence in Texas by the coyote. Keep up your good work.

I'm here because I'm trying to embrace the idea that the red wolves maybe the Washington Red Wolves such a pretty beautiful animal

Did a project on the red wolf and managed to get 115%
