		Canis rufus gregoryi, the surviving subspecies, was extirpated in 1980, although that status was changed to critical when 100 wolves were reintroduced in North Carolina.

	THE V-45 `WOLFWING'
		Rufus redesigned the fuselage and added a pair of forward stabilizers to solve the problem of the V-45's tendency to spin in flight, due to its pair of powerful Lupus F-116 fusion engines.
		One pilot; Captain Steele of the 34th Canis Navy Space Squadron, commented that the forward laser cannons were more successful against enemy starfighters, and the others (on the wings) were better used on larger capital ships.
		Due to the Canine's obsession with ground attack superiority, Rufus agreed to arm the "Wolf Wing" with a pair of Dumbfire Rocket Launchers.

		Simply put, unlike the Arctic wolf, the Red wolf is not a subspecies of Canis lupus (Gray Wolf) and therefore, not a Gray Wolf at all.
		It is now thought by many scientists that the Red wolf is simply the southern remnant of "Canis lycaon," the wolves inhabiting certain regions between Manitoba and Quebec, Canada.
		Although newly recognized, "Canis lycaon" is surrounded by controversy.

	Red Wolves: Are they a wolf/coyote hybrid?
		The biological species concept defines a species as a population or a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed with one another in nature to produce fertile offspring, but who cannot interbreed with members of other species to produce viable, fertile offspring.
		However, the biological species concept is usually not used to determine whether or not a certain population consitutes a separate species.
		Canis lupus and Canis latrans are found on the same continent and are recognized as being two separate species even though they interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

		A prime example of such a situation is the case of the North American red wolf, Canis rufus.
		The red wolf was once fairly widespread in the southeastern USA, but predator control programmes and the conversion of mature woodland habitat to agriculture resulted in a reduction in both range and population size.
		Red wolves appeared to be closely related to populations of grey wolves that are known to hybridize with coyotes, and had allele frequencies generally intermediate between non-hybridizing populations of coyotes and grey wolves (Fig.3).
