* Small mammals: Rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice, opossums, and young deer are common prey.
* Fish: They frequently eat fish, especially in areas with access to water.
* Birds: Red wolves will occasionally catch birds, especially ground-nesting birds like quail and ducks.
* Reptiles and Amphibians: Snakes, lizards, frogs, and turtles are also part of their diet.
* Carrion: They will scavenge on dead animals, including those killed by other predators.
* Fruit and Berries: Red wolves supplement their diet with fruits and berries when available.
They are known to hunt in packs, using their keen senses and teamwork to bring down larger prey. They typically hunt at night, using stealth and their powerful senses of smell and hearing to track prey.
Important Note: Due to their critically endangered status, red wolves are actively managed and protected in their limited range. The exact composition of their diet can vary based on habitat and availability of prey.
