The Eastern (AKA Red) wolf really is endangered... unlike it's larger cousin which has recovered nicely since we stopped trying to wipe them out.Most people seem to not know this, timber wolf is a gray wolf... there is only two type of wolf (other then hybrids) in north America gray wolf and eastern wolf.
There are a lot of people who would like to see grays back in Maine but I hope that doesn't happen until they are taken off the ES list. They hunt them right next door in Canada.
