Step-by-Step On How to Draw a Red Wolf

The Red Wolf is on the endangered list in parts of the United States. Interbreeding with coyotes and domestic dogs has helped contribute to its decline. During the 1970's the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service initiated a program to help bring the Red Wolf back. They captured Red Wolves and then released them on islands for natural mating. When their population grew they then introduced the wolves to other areas such as Alligator River National Wildlife refuge in North Carolina and the Smoky Mountains National park in Tennessee.
