Endangered Red Wolves in eastern North Carolina fading fast
From Wavy:
DARE COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) – With the wild Red Wolf population in eastern North Carolina fading fast, experts are discussing ways to bring the species back.
From what biologists know, there are currently only 18 adult Red Wolves remaining — and they say vehicles and guns are to blame for the declining numbers.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Red Wolves were among the first animals to be designated under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966 in the year 1967. The wolves are native to North America, with habitats up and down the east coast, and as far west as Texas.
