Red wolf

Canid native to the southeastern United States

The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a canine native to the southeastern United States. Its size is intermediate between the coyote (Canis latrans) and gray wolf (Canis lupus). The red wolf's taxonomic classification as a species has been contentious for nearly a century, being considered either a subspecies of the gray wolf or a coywolf (a genetic admixture of coyote and wolf).
