There is no single, universally agreed upon number for the current red wolf population.
Here's why:
* Red wolves are critically endangered. Their numbers are very low and fluctuate.
* Tracking is challenging. Red wolves are elusive and live in remote areas, making accurate counting difficult.
* Different sources provide varying figures.
* The Red Wolf Recovery Program is the primary source of information, but their numbers are typically estimates.
* The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also provides updates, though they may differ slightly from the recovery program.
To find the most up-to-date estimate, I recommend checking the following resources:
* Red Wolf Recovery Program website: [https://www.fws.gov/refuge/alligator_river/](https://www.fws.gov/refuge/alligator_river/)
* U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website: [https://www.fws.gov/](https://www.fws.gov/)
Please note that the population numbers are constantly changing, and it's best to consult the most recent data from reliable sources.
