The red wolf, a wild canine native in the US, has teetered on the brink of extinction for decades.
Animal Activists started a captive breeding program started in the 1970s, but to no avail.
Only 40 red wolves are known to be still living in the wild today.
Fortunately, scientists found out a population of wild dogs inTexas carry the red wolf genes.
This could help them breed red wolves back to a reasonable population.
