Red Wolves (Canis rufus) are shy and wary creatures. They prefer to hunt alone or in small family groups; pack sizes are smaller than those of their grey cousins, consisting often of one adult pair and their offspring. As in other canids pair-bonding is strong and Red Wolves mate for life. The gray wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf or, simply, wolf, is a mammal of the order Carnivora. The gray wolf is the largest member of the family Canidae and also the most well known of wolves. Wolves are actually naturally cautious and will almost always flee from humans, perhaps only carefully approaching a person out of curiosity. For decades, the Red Wolf has been indistinguishable genetically from either the Gray Wolf or the Coyote. The Red Wolf breeds with both species and may again be in peril as contact with other species in the wild resumes. Strangely enough, I am descended from Northeastern and Southeastern Native American nations, and the family animal for both branches is the wolf. My personal animal is the red wolf.
