Rarest of the Rare

This wolf is on the endangered spices list there are only 300 in captivity, and 100 red wolves currently live in the wild.There are three problems threaten the future of red wolves - the loss of habitat, the hunting of wolves, and red wolves mating with coyotes. The expansion of agriculture, logging and human settlement cleared the forest home of red wolves. Between 1900 - 1920 red wolves were hunted because they preyed on cattle. As the population of red wolves declined, coyotes expanded into its territory. They have been wiped out in Mexico, they only live in New Mexico and Arazona. Please help the red wolf population, before we lose this re markable animal forever.
