RED WOLF.....found in North America in swamps, forests, wetlands and bushlands....measures 3.25 - 4 feet long with a 10 - 14 inch tail and a weight of 40 - 90 lbs....declared extinct in the wild in 1980, but fortunately a captive breeding program enabled the species to be reintroduced....as of 2010, the reintroduced population eastern North Carolina was thought to total around 130....jaw pressure, or biting capacity, has been measured at 1,500 pounds per square inch Wolf Images, Wolf Photos, Wolf Pictures, Animal Pictures, Beautiful Creatures, Animals Beautiful, Animals And Pets, Animals Wild, Feral Heart

75-100 red wolves in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge       ---- Near entrance to Outer Banks Wolf Love, Red Wolf, Coyotes, Wolf Spirit, Spirit Animal, Beautiful Creatures, Animals Beautiful, John Tattoo, Tattoo Wolf

As their name suggests, red wolves are known for the characteristic reddish color of their fur most apparent behind the ears and along the neck and legs, but are mostly brown and buff colored with some black along their backs. Intermediate in size to gray wolves and coyotes, the average adult red wolf weighs 45-80 pounds, stands about 26 inches at the shoulder and is about 4 feet long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail.

This month's theme is about motherhood and new beginnings. But today also is May Day. :) In August, my new release is Seduced by the Wolf, where Leidolf Wildhaven has his heart set on a loner red wolf, and Cassie Roux has other notions in mind. It's spring and the time for wolf pups and the rebirth of the trees and flowers-- but as a wolf biologist, who had been raised by wolves after her family perishes, she is dedicated to the wolf's cause. And that means, she has no intention of mixing it…

Once common throughout the southeastern USA, red wolves have been reduced to the brink of extinction. In 2015 the conservation of the red wolf was stopped & no action was taken to prosecute the small group of North Carolina poachers (male hunters) who picked off the remaining wolves one by one. A KEYSTONE SPECIES, wolves play a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist.
