Do red wolves live in South Carolina?

Red wolves do not live in South Carolina. They are a critically endangered species that only exist in the wild in a small area of eastern North Carolina.

Here's why:

* Limited Range: Red wolves are native to the southeastern United States, but their historical range has drastically shrunk due to habitat loss, hunting, and hybridization with coyotes.

* Reintroduction Efforts: There have been no successful reintroduction efforts for red wolves in South Carolina.

* Current Population: The only wild population of red wolves is found in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas in North Carolina.

While you may see reports of wolf sightings in South Carolina, these are usually misidentified coyotes or other canids.
