Pretty cool thanks for the pics. TN tried to reestablish the red wolfs around the Cade’s cove area of the Smokey mntns. While the experiment did not work a lot was learned from it.
The biggest set backs to a sustainable breeding population were not only parasites in the young litters, but more impactful, was the lack of a generational social hierarchy to solidify and centralize the family units within their environment. (much like issues that are plaguing us as a human species today)
