an endangered wolf is probably the red wolf
No, no real wolf breeder would sell them, because they wouldn't want to endanger the very endangered Mexican wolf species. If someone is trying to sell you a Mexican wolf, they're trying to rip you off.

EVERY SINGLE BREED OF WOLF IS ENDANGERED! sad isn't it? we should do something about that? As above, every breed of wolf is endangered and as a passionate wolf lover I agree something should be done to save these amazing creatures, and it is very sad that are kind are to blame. But some breeds are more endangered than others. The grey wolf is the most common, the most endangered being the red wolf.
Not all breeds are but the red wolf is. Did you know that wolves were once on the endangered list, but for now they are not. Red wolves are rare wild dogs and are in captivity. A few are now in the wild.
The Mexican Grey Wolf is endangered because it was hunted. As settlers moved into the southwestern United States in the 1900s, they killed of the wolf's prey. When the wolves attacked farmer's livestock, they were shot. Others hunted the wolves for their pelt. In the late 1900s, there were no Mexican wolves left in the U.S and there were only a few in Mexico. The United States government is working with the Mexican government to raise wolves in captivity to release them into the wild.
No, wolf spiders are not an endangered species.
