Red "Texan Wolf, painted by John James Audubon.
“The last naturally occurring population utilised the coastal prairie marshes of south- west Louisiana and south-east Texas (Carley 1975; Shaw 1975).”

The last red wolves in the wild were all taken from coastal Texas in the 1970s, placed into a captive breeding program, with some eventually released into North Carolina. There is still plenty of room for them on the Upper Texas Gulf Coast, but not a single one lives in the coastal prairie anymore.
