So happy Nature featured the Red Wolf! I've been passionate about their conservation since the late 1980's! Love that we have the Red Wolf Conservation Center here in NC! Yay!! ❤️😍❤️😍
0:39 I actually have that exact same plushie 😳 It’s hard to tell from the angle but the plushie is HUGE. Like, four and a half feet long from nose to tail
I love how the american red wolves have the only unique shape and look of their eyes , not too big , not too small or big in height and have cooperative help in hunting , can't really take down big prey animals and their howls the start of old guitars playing .
Coyotes hybridizing with them can be 100% blamed for their decreasing numbers. The same thing is going to happen to the wild dingo in Australia because it’s hybridizing with feral dogs.
That certainly is happening but human expansion and or habitat loss as well as hunting, traps and poison are also major factors. A red wolf really is a wolf and coyote hybrid that has evolved into what we see today.
@@jeremyserwer2586 wolves have been illegal to hunt/trap for at least 50 years so you can rule out over hunting, unless your talking about the over hunting that took place 150 years ago. Wolves were wiped out by hunting 150 years ago but recovered. Loss of habitat and hybridizing with coyotes is the biggest threat. The coyote’s thinning out the blood line is the biggest threat because the are mating with the wild wolves that are left. Now you have something called the Coywolf running around. I believe they call that Evolution
@@mattacedo Yes I know about all of what your saying having independently studied wolves for twenty plus years. Ranchers are still killing wolves and in states like WY, ID, WI there are Wolf and Coyote Derby's -- so yes over hunting is still happening and humans are the decider in what the carrying capacity is for Wolves which are an extremely beneficial species---humans are a completely non beneficial species. Most Eastern NA wolves are hybridized and probably the only mostly pure Wolf species are in Western Canada. You can call the hybridization evolution and technically you'd be right but we're a major driver in what animals can live and which we will be ending. Ranchers have an outsized say in most states in how Wolves and Coyotes are managed. Had we managed our own growth and population we would not have to pick and choose who can live and who can die to best suit the humans need for expansion. .
@@jeremyserwer2586 the wolves, you are referring to in Wyoming, Idaho, and Wyoming are being legally hunted because they are thriving and they are decimating the elk populations. They are managing the wolves sustainably using hunting, so that wolves and their prey can continue to coexist in an environment where there were no wolves for 150 years. . Also those are completely different wolves than the ones mentioned in this PBS short. Also, the wolves in those mentioned states are unable to hybridize with coyotes because they are mortal enemies and completely different . The coyotes that are hybridizing with red wolves are much similar and are not enemies with coyotes like the grey wolf. And yes, some ranchers/ people still do poach wolves in area of wolf recovery but those instances are very few and far between. I live in AZ where the Mexican gray wolf recovery is taking place. I’m very educated on the matter. The poaching instances are Definitely not enough to put a dent in the population of any wolf that is being recovered right now.
@@mattacedo Glad you are aware of the issue but I would be less quick to take the side of the human in any wild life management scenario ever. The state of ID allows for 150 Wolves total! Yes you heard that correctly and the reason for that super low number is because of what you're saying. Tourist hunters need Elk to shoot! I'd like you to consider the damage that 150 wolves do to their habitat in comparison to 150 humans from the same habitat. In WI the Derbt's almost always have hunters killing well over the limit as their mind set is that humans call the shots as the Dominant species. Wolves maintain a natural order and bring balance to the natural world as has been recorded in Yellowstone national park. Humans devour landscapes and make life extremely difficult for almost all species aside from those that have learned to exploit our waste and lifestyles. I too have lived in AZ--in Tucson for a time and was aware of the dwindling populations of Red Wolves since the 90's. If there are 20 Red Wolves in the wild is that even enough to replenish? Definitely not! Human pressure is the largest driver in this situation. Wolves and Coyotes will always be at odds as they're competing for the same resources. You should read American Coyote--it covers all this information in detail. Great read!
If there were no bad stories about the wolves like in the Bible for example, then the red wolves would have been doing fine even till this day. People wouldn't have hunted them all towards extinction.
The placing captive born in the wild den; is such an awesome effort.... Prayers for this species.

This is enlightening wonderful and refreshing
... I love watching Nature on PBS 💕 👏 ...
As thats a great idea put into action,do keep it going.
Such a beautiful animal and so few on them! Please don't hunt this rare breed into extinction. Thank you for work in saving them!
They are dogs. Give them food and you will have a best friend forever!
They are super cute
The thumbnail looked like a wolf in a suit.
It did lol
I thought the same. That’s why I clicked on it lol
What's music 3:14 in end video?
Did anybody else cry 😢

Her Love wolfs
But who are they taking the pups away from? That surely can’t be nice for the mom

I don’t know a single person scared of wolves.what she talking bout?
I ❤Animals.

Grey wolf that had sex w a coyote ???
Ummm, no. they are a completely different genetic species from grey wolves and coyotes.
Fascinating lineage and gorgeous canids! ❤️
