Future and Prognosis
Prognosis
for landowners and red wolves to coexists is good. Landowners most
understand the actions of red wolves and at their current population status
they do not represent a significant threat to person or property. Prognosis
for addressing hybridization in red wolf populations is uncertain.
Interbreeding between red wolves and coyotes may be the result of small
remnant or expanding population of wolves. Relocated family units need to be
monitored for the degree of hybridization, circumstances which hybridization
occurs, and the contribution hybrids make to a population. Observing this
situation the red wolves need to be relocated in areas that coyotes do not
exists this in turn will limit or even prevent a hybridization problem.
