Hey there,
There's been a few topics asking similar questions. You should find your answers here:
Extinct?
http://www.wolfquest.org/bb/viewtopic.p ... s#p1560604
How many wolves are still out there????

READ!: Wolf Q&A - Frequently Asked Questions (NEW UPDATES)
http://www.wolfquest.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34625

* The topic (READ!: Wolf Q&A - Frequently Asked Questions) does need a bit of updating, i.e., the red "wolf" (C. rufus) is really a coyote hybrid, and though still recognized as a wolf species to some, the red "wolf" we once thought unique no longer exists due to generations of irreversible breeding between coyotes and wolves. In addition, C. l lycaon was recently recognized as C. lycaon/species of wolf; however, it too has a large amount of coyote blood, and while not as much as the red "wolf" has accumulated over time, still is just a coyote-wolf hybrid and nothing more.
