A pack of wild canines found near the beaches of the Texas upper Gulf Coast carries a substantial amount of red wolf genes, a surprising discovery because the animal was declared extinct in the wild nearly 40 years ago.

That's fluff journalism.I've been to the sanctuary numerous times. They have expanded to numerous other sites in Indiana as well as North and South Carolina.

I used to work at the same place this guy taught school. According to him, they have been reintroducing the red wolf for years! Their DNA is in numerous k-9 throughout the country. Many Red wolves are killed yearly because their appearance is very similar to a coyote.

The DNR brought 8 week old red wolf pups from the East and turned them loose near grey wolf dens.
The grey wolves raise them. I have seen several red wolves even in my yard.

1963 I saw a grey wolf with a starving red wolf female. Though he had never bothered our chickens or
calves, he brought her early one morning right after I turned the chickens out. I stood there and watched
her grab and kill a big hen. She carried it off but never returned. I never saw her again but did see the male
various times.
