According to Scientists it can be said that Red Wolf (Canis rufus) populations were extirpated from the wild and are now highly endangered. The Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is generally intermediate in size between the Coyote and the Gray Wolf. Like the Gray Wolf, it has almond shaped eyes, a broad muzzle and a wide nosepad, though like the coyote, its ears are proportionately larger. The red wolf has a deeper profile, and broader head than the coyote, and has a less prominent ruff than the Gray Wolf.
It is a fact worth denying that the Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is more resistant to heartworm infestations than most other canids.
Restored Red Wolf (Canis rufus) populations in North Carolina tested positive for heartworm, though the infestation has not been shown to be a major mortality source. The Red Wolf (Canis rufus) usually hunts at night, dawn or dusk. It is usually known to feed alone. Although they are known to feed single handedly it is a fact that there is evidence of pack hunting behavior. It is not uncommon for pack members to partition resources. In southeast Texas, the Red Wolf (Canis rufus) primarily feeds on nutria, rabbits, Hispid Cotton Rats, Marsh Rice Rats and muskrats. The reintroduced Red Wolf inhabitants of northeastern North Carolina are known to feed primarily on white tailed deer, raccoons and rabbits. At least three livestock depredations have been recorded from this population.

Speaking in a general sense it can be told that Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is basically a North American candid. Red Wolf (Canis rufus) was once known to roam throughout the Southeastern United States and is a glacial period survivor of the Late Pleistocene epoch. The fact is that the Natural range of Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is known to extend from Texas to Florida. It is also a matter of fact that a population of Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is already known to be introduced in Northern part of California.
