When do baby wolves leave their mother?

The wolf gestation period is about 63 days, and litters usually contain 4 to 6 pups, though they can have as many as 10. Like domestic dogs, wolf pups are born unable to see and hear. Their eyes open at about 2 weeks, at which time they begin to walk. At 3 weeks, they are able to hear. They spend a month cloistered in the den with their mother, after which they will begin leaving the den for short periods of time. In another 2 to 3 weeks, they will be eating mostly meat, which adult wolves regurgitate for them. The pups will be fully weaned at 10 weeks. They will stay in their birth pack until they reach sexual maturity at 2 to 3 years of age.

Though wolves live in packs, only the alpha male and alpha female mate and produce pups. The other wolves in a pack, often young adult offspring of the breeding pair, do not mate until they leave their birth pack and find their own territory.

Wolves can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) for short distances, typically around 1 to 3 miles.

Their stamina allows them to travel vast territories in search of food and mates.

Is the Texas red wolf extinct?

The red wolf was hunted to near extinction, and as the population declined, it was learned the species was hybridizing with the coyote. Once roaming from Virginia to Texas, the red wolf was existing as a remnant population on the Texas-Louisiana border. In the 1970's, the last remaining 14 purebred red wolves were captured, and put into a captive breeding program. In the late 1980's, a population of red wolves was released into the Alligator River Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina. The program was a success, and now 110 red wolves roam the area in several small packs. Some hybridization with coyotes was found, but has since been minimized, as the red wolf population grows, coyotes leave the area, giving way to the larger canine. Plans are for further reintroductions to take place in parts of their former range, as new areas with suitable habitat are explored.

If you mean "How does a wolf get back home?" then, the answer is "They usually mark their territory, leaving its own scent around its den, and they can smell something from a mile away, so they can get home immediately if they wanted to."
