The red wolf ancestry of these populations possess unique red wolf alleles not found in the current captive red wolf population. The study proposes that the expanding coyotes admixed with red wolves to gain genetic material that was suited to the southeastern environment and would aid their adaptation to it, and that surviving red wolves ...
One specimen from Zhejiang province in eastern China shared gene flow with the wolves from southern China, however its genome was 12-14 percent admixed with a canid that may be the dhole or an unknown canid that predates the genetic divergence of the dhole. The wolf population from southern China is believed to be still existing in that region ...

Red wolves are smaller than their cousins, the gray wolves. A coyote stands about the same height but is often a little shorter, typically 3.3 to 4.3 feet long.
In East Asia, Mongolia's population numbers 10,000–20,000. In China, Heilongjiang has roughly 650 wolves, Xinjiang has 10,000 and Tibet has 2,000. [155] 2017 evidence suggests that wolves range across all of mainland China. [156] Wolves have been historically persecuted in China [157] but have been legally protected since 1998. [158]
PROVIDENCE − He doesn't know it, but a red wolf that moved into the Roger Williams Park Zoo last week will play an important role in the recovery of his critically endangered species.
During that time, the Idaho wolf population had made the most remarkable comeback in the region, with its abundant federal lands and wilderness areas peaking at nearly 900 wolves (almost half of the regional wolf population) in 2009. However, the wolves have increasingly been blamed for livestock and hunting opportunity losses.
A California gray wolf, dubbed OR 85, in 2023. The wolf was fitted with a satellite collar to help the California Department of Fish and Wildlife track the state's burgeoning wolf population.
