The red wolf Canis rufus was once considered extinct in the wild (1970). In the late 1980s it was reintroduced back into the wild. The population is still exceedingly small. The red wolf interbreeds with coyotes Canis latrans. This would disrupt the red wolf species as a "pure species" gene pool. Information from Burnie, D.
