The Red Wolf (Canis lupus rufus) is a North American canid subspecies which once roamed throughout the Southeastern United States and is a glacial period survivor of the Late Pleistocene epoch. Its natural range extended from Texas to Florida northward to New York. Historical habitats included forests, swamps, and coastal prairies, where it was an apex predator. The Red Wolf became extinct in the wild by 1980. A population has been successfully reintroduced to eastern North Carolina. Although this population has grown to over 100 animals, it is still highly endangered.
The Red Wolf has a brownish or cinnamon pelt, with grey and black shading on the back and tail. Its muzzle is white furred around the lips. Black specimens have been recorded, but these are probably extinct. The Red Wolf is generally intermediate in size between the Coyote and the Gray Wolf. Males can reach up to five feet in length and 80 lbs. in weight. 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, longer and broader head than the coyote, and has a less prominent ruff than the Gray Wolf. It moults once annually every winter.
아메리카붉은늑대(Canis lupus rufus)는 식육목의 일종이다. 한때 이들은 미국의 남동부에 서식했으며 홍적기말을 살아 넘겼던 종이다. 아메리카붉은늑대는 붉은 털, 은회색의 이마, 흰 다리에 있는 어두운 반점, 그리고 크림색의 배가 특징이다. 현재 이들의 분포지역은 제한되어 있으며, 멸종된 지역인 노스캐롤라이나 주에 재도입되고 있다. 과학자들은 이들이 미국 남동부에서 멸종했으며 이에 따라 심각한 멸종위기에 놓여 있는 종으로 평가하였다.
