Abstract:
In 1980, the red wolf was declared extinct in the wild. Breeding programs conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have brought the animal back. There are thirty-eight places in the United States that conduct captive breeding programs, but the only place in the world where red wolves roam in the wild is in eastern North Carolina on the 1.7-million acre Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Daniel discusses the Red Wolf Howling Safari, a two-hour program conducted on Wednesday nights in the summer and on special nights the rest of the year. The wolves are never seen, but sometimes they will howl back at their human imitators.

In 1987, red wolves were successfully released into the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina. Now, with the spread of coyotes across the state, interbreeding, which almost destroyed the red wolf's genetic purity once before, threatens it again.

Abstract:
The last red wolf sighting in the North Carolina Mountains was in the 1930s. Two mated pairs of red wolves, sent to the Great Smoky Mountains this winter, will be released into the wild in August as part of a reintroduction project. The animals will be held in an acclimation pen, and it is hoped they will breed and produce pups by the spring. Before release, the adult wolves will be fitted with radio collars, and the pups, if any, will be implanted with internal radio transmitters for tracking their movements.
