Red Wolves are small-ish & slender canids w/ long limbs. Analyses of pre-1920 wolves suggests distinct skull morphologies btwn coyote & grey wolf but doesn't distinguish hypotheses - are they an ancient species or recent hybrid? (Nowak 2002, Audubon & Bachman 1851) #2021MMM
Starting in the 1920's, coyotes started moving east into red wolf's range (& hybridizing w/red wolf), taking advantage of forest clearance & decrease in red wolf pop size due to predator eradication programs. nap.edu/read/25891/cha… #2021MMM
