America’s Red Wolves

field guide
Red wolves are the most endangered wild animals in the United States?  Yep. And the most endangered wolf in the entire world!

Yet many folks have never heard of them. We didn’t know they existed until meeting some newborn wolf pups at the NC Zoo. It was love at first sight. Now we want everyone to learn about them and help save them from extinction.

And just where do they live wild? In Eastern North Carolina which is also home to the densest population of black bears found on our planet. How very cool!
