Red wolves are nearly extinct.
Gray wolves now live in only
a small part of the land they
once hunted.

These dogs have also lost much
of their habitat to farms.
Other wild dogs, such as
coyotes and the red foxes,now
live in more places than ever before.
Their numbers continue to grow.
Many laws have been passed to
stop the killing of endangered wolves.
Conservationst are working to
preserve national parks and forests.

to wild dogs and their prey.

places where they use to live.
