no one really knows. if you look at all the websites and such, there really isn't much of an answer. it was declared extinct in 1942, the same year as World War 2. u.s. fish and wildlife services keep record of it and were the ones who declared extinct. maybe they know? otherwise, there really isn't an answer to it much i still have the same question as well.
By the turn of the 20th century, reduction of natural prey like deer and elk caused many wolves to begin attacking domestic livestock, which led to intensive efforts by government agencies and individuals to eradicate the native gray wolf subspecies, the Mogollon wolf (also known as the Mogollon mountain wolf), from New Mexico and Arizona. Hunters also hunted down the wolf because it killed deer. Trappers and private trappers have also helped in the eradication of the Mogollon wolf. By the 1950s, the Mogollon wolf had been eliminated from the wild in New Mexico and Arizona. In 1976, the Mexican wolf, a gray wolf subspecies and an occasional hunter in the former Mogollon wolf denning territory, was declared an endangered subspecies and has remained so ever since. Because of the overlapping range, and because some biologists felt the Mogollon wolf was a "middle subspecies" between the Mexican wolf and the grey wolves farther north, the Mexican wolf, the Mogollon wolf and another subspecies, the Texas wolf, were all lumped together in one taxonomic group. In 1998 the Mexican wolf reintroduction program released Mexican wolves into the former denning territory of the Mogollon wolf. Today, an estimated 340 Mexican Wolves survive in 49 facilities at the United States and Mexico.
85 percent of wolf species are extinct.
The Mogollon culture is believed to have spoken a language that is now extinct. Due to the lack of written records, the exact linguistic affiliation of the Mogollon people remains uncertain. It is thought that they may have spoken languages related to the Athabascan or Uto-Aztecan language families.
they aren't
Because people shoot them for no reason.
The gray wolf is not extinct. Listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
