How many red wolves where there before they came endangered?

Answer 1

pure red wolves are extint but in captivity there are about 300 red wolves
The red wolf is one of the world's most endangered wild animals. The red wolf population was nearly wiped out by the 1960s. A small population of red wolves survived along the Gulf coast. The red wolf was declared an endangered species in 1973. Of the 17 remaining wolves captured, 14 were bred in successful captive breeding programs. The US Fish and Wildlife Service declared red wolves extinct in the wild in 1980.

By 1987, enough red wolves were bred in captivity to begin a restoration program in North Carolina.

Over 100 red wolves roam their native habitats in North Carolina and approximately 200 red wolves are in breeding programs across the United States, such as one on Florida's Gulf Coast. Interbreeding with the coyote is seen as the biggest threat to restoring red wolves on their home range.

Answer 2
