Red Wolves...

Red Wolves generally roam in small packs usually consisting of an adult pair and their offspring. Red wolves can breed as early as their second year and have 3 to 5 pups each. In order for the red wolves to survive in the wild they need anywhere from 10 and 100 square miles of habitat to hunt and live. Red wolves have become extinct due to hybridization with other wolves such as the grey wolf and Mexican wolf and the coyotes. Red wolves have also lost their habitat but are beginning to be reintroduced by the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina. There are special anatomical, physiological
or behavioral adaptations such as:
When a red wolf is trapped or feels threatened he will hold his tail upright and snarl exposing only canines and a few front teeth. He will also raise the hair on his neck and back.
