Are the red Wolf and gray Wolf in the same species?
Actually the Red wolf has been reclassified as of 2005 as a Canis lupus rufus, meaning that it is actually a subspecies of the Grey wolf. Therefore, the Red wolf and the Grey wolf are part of the same species. However, in the Genomic Research, the Red wolves are also said to have varying degrees of coyotes in their DNA. In fact, given that the Grey wolves have hybridized with coyotes in the eastern regions of North America for hundreds of years, the Red wolves can also be considered to be technically a coyote with a small percentage of Grey wolf in them (24% Grey wolf) thus making them a hybrid species called the Coywolf. So whether they should continue to be listed as a subspecies of the Grey wolf or as simply a hybrid species is still on a massive debate by different researchers.Further up north in Ontario, the Eastern wolves, known as the "Canis lupus lycaon" were also once listed as simply Canis lycaon because like the Red wolves they were also thought to be distinct species of wolves. However, recent evidence from DNA analysis has confirmed that the Eastern wolves are in fact 58% Grey wolf and 42% coyotes making them Coywolves much like the Red wolves.
