  • Tasmanian wolves are actually NOT wolves, or even dogs. The Tasmanian wolf, or tiger, was a striped marsupial predator called the thylacine. It was in no way related to the true wolves. It was quite different to the Tasmanian devil.
  • Grey Wolf (aka: Timber Wolf) lives in North America, Eurasia and Middle East. by excessive hunting has caused these wolves to almost become extinct. Red Wolf is the rarest and most endangered and is found in eastern North America from Pennsylvania in the east to southern Florida. 155 captive re conservation parks; 100 in the wilds and 68 with radio collars. Ethiopian Wolf (aka: KY kebero); aka: Simien Jackal; Simien Fox and Abyssinian Wolf. 450 adults remain since 2003 and 38 have died from rabies. Mexican Wolf is related to the Grey Wolf in North America. For lack of prey these wolves went after livstock and the government issued eradicfication of them. U.S. Fish and Wildlife reinterduced this species and 100 are in the Apache and Gila National Forests and New Mexico as of 2005. Arctic Wolf(aka: Polar Wolf or White Wolf) and is related to the Grey Wolf. They live in the Canadian Arctic and northern parts of Greenland. These wolves were almost extinct and now live in sanctuaries with 8 - 10 per 40 acres. Eastern Wolf (aka: Canadian Wolf or Eastern Canadian Red Wolf is a species of the Grey Wolves and Red Wolves or Coyotes. The range in south of the U.S. Population of these wolves is unknown, but there is an over population of them. Eurasian Wolfe (aka: Common Wolf; European Wolf; Carpathian Wolf; Steppes Wolfe; Tibetan Wolf and Chinese Wolf) and is related to the Grey Wolf and they survive mainly in Central Asia. Italian Wolf (aka: Apennine Wolfe) related to the Grey Wolf is found in Italy and is one species of wolf of the least concern for preservation of this species. Tundra Wolf is related to the Grey Wolf. It lives in northern Europe and Asian and primarily in northern arctic and boreal regions of Russia. This species is of less concern as far as preserving the species. Maned Wolfappears between a cross of a wolf, African hunting dog and Hyena, but no conclusions to the relationship of species has been proved. The Maned Wolf lives in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Volivia east of the Andes. It is estimated there is only 4500 - 2200 of the Maned Wolf left. Arabian Wolf live in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman and are considered to be critically endangered and the species in declining. Caspian Sea Wolf lives between the Caspian and Black seas and the endanger to the species in declining. Egyptian Wolf lives in far northern Africa and it is a critically endangered species. Great Plains Wolf lives in the Southern Rocky Mountains; Midwestern U.S.; Eastern and Northeastern Canada, far Southwestern Canada and Southeastern Alaska. Surprisingly enough this species is stable even with a continuous hunting of them by the U.S. and in parts of Canada. Indian Wolf lives in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and is endangered; declining. MacKenzie Valley Wolf lives in Alaska, Northern Rockies, Western and Central Canada and this species was declining, but reintroducted to Yellowstone National Park and Idaho in 1995. They are legally hunted in Alaska and parts of Canada and protected in the U.S. Russian Wolf lives in Central Russia. This species is stable but declining. Kenai Peninsula Wolfe lived in Alaska, but is now extinct. Texas Grey Wolf had lived in Texas and Northeast Mexico but the species is extint. New Foundland Wolf of course lived in Newfoundland and is extinct. Southern Rocky Mountain Wolflives in the mountain regions of Colorado, Utah and Nevada and are extinct. Mongoilin Mountain Wolf lived in Central Arizona and New Mexcio and is extinct. Hokkaido Wolf lived on the Japanese island of Hokkaido and is extinct. Honshu Wolflived on the Japanese islands of Honshu; Shikoku and Kyushu and is extinct. Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf once lived in the Northern Rocky Mountains of the U.S. and Southern Alberta (Canada) and is extinct. Dire Wolf lived in North America for approximately 100,000 years and is extinct.

They are not as endangered as some animals, like the amur leopard, but are classed as endangered

A wolf may be endangered because of people hunting them. Zoos and other wildlife places are trying to save them and bring there population back up. Wolf hunting is very cruel to me. It takes another wolf one by one.

  • Tasmanian wolves are actually NOT wolves, or even dogs. They are marsupials. Or, they were. They are considered extinct, though no one knows completely for sure. There are no such things as "tundra wolves." Sorry. The closest things that come to being tundra wolves are Arctic wolves and gray wolves, neither of which are endangered (gray wolves were recently taken off the list). Wolves come in a variety of colors, including black, red-ish, gray, and white, as well as a mixture of the colors.Gray wolves and Ethiopian wolves are also endangered.

  • The Tasmanian Wolf, aka, Tasmanian Tiger, or Tazzy. Is considered extinct. The last captive species, later named Benjamin, died in 1936. It was not related to the wolf, as is referenced in this question. The Tasmanian Devil, however is still alive, and roaming in Australia, but is listed on the IUCN Red List, as "Endangered", with it's population on the decline.

The Grey Wolf is listed under "LC" (Least Concern) on the scale of conservation.

However, in certain regions they are endangered. This means that under global circumstances, they are in no danger, but their range may be receeding further.

AnswerWolves have been on the endangered species list in the past and now have various types that are still list as however, they are coming back and slowly becoming more poplulated as we have been trying to protect them and their wilderness they need to live.

The red wolf is endangered, about 110 roam the Alligator River Refuge in North Carolina.

Wolves have made a extreme recovery, but people hunt them now more than ever. Governor's of states, such as Idaho, are getting rid of 2/3 of their wolves.
Yes at this point they are due tothe settlers hunting them because they didn'y want them living near their home. They are only 2,700 of them in America.
Well there are many kinds of wolves, and most of them are endangered, the grey wolf was put on the endangered species list in 1974, and was just taken off in march 2009. The red wolf however, which are in the southern and central United States, although the numbers rise slowly each year, are still considered to be the most critically endangered type of wold. kenai wolves lived in Alaska, but is now extinct..the northern rocky mountain wolf that once lived in the Northern Rocky Mountains of the US and Southern Alberta is extinct..as well as the Tasmanian wolf and there are a couple more that are extinct.
Yes they were but they just came of the endangered species list and are being hunted once again!

The Red Wolf Canis Rufus IS extremely threatened/endangered.

only the red Mexican wolf. probably, there might be others that might be going extinct.
yes
Yes they are. A long time ago, wolves' prey dwindled because they were being hunted by people, so wolves ate farmers' livestock instead. Then, all of the farmers hunted wolves because they thought wolves were evil. This is how wolves became endangered. Now, people are protecting wolves. They have been reintroduced into Yellowstone and many sanctuaries have been built.
They might be. All animals might be endangered because of humans. so if we destroy their habitat and hunt them yes. but if we protect them then no.
yes wolves are in danger of extinction
Some species are, the red wolf and Ethiopian wolf among them.The IUCN Redlist has a list of endangered wolves.
yes they all are because of humans
it depends on if we keep hunting and killing them
certain species are. It also depends on the area. You don't see wolves around Germany, Holland etc. anymore

Yes, most wolves have been endangered because of shooting, hunting, and capturing. Some wolves, like in Yellowstone Park, have been able to make their population larger. Great Question :)
