Archaeological evidence has suggested an origin of the Red Wolf line 1–2 Ma, branching from a wolf-coyote ancestor, which itself appeared about 4.9 Ma.^[14][15] Between 150,000–300,000 years ago, the North American branch evolved into the Red Wolf, Eastern Wolf and the Coyote.^[16] Another wolf-like branch migrated to Eurasia and evolved into the Gray Wolf, which later migrated to North America.^[15] Recent research has created debate over the taxonomy of the red wolf, specifically, whether it should be a species or a subspecies within the Gray Wolf.

It is thought that its original distribution included much of eastern North America, where Red Wolves were found from Maine south to Florida and in south central US westward to Texas. Records of bounty payments to Wappinger Indians in New York in the middle 18th century confirm its range at least that far north;^[17] it's possible that it could have extended as far as extreme eastern Canada.^[18] There are thought to be about 300 Red Wolves remaining in the world, with 207 of those in captivity.^[19] For decades, the Red Wolf has been indistinguishable genetically from either the Gray Wolf or the Coyote.^[2] The Red Wolf breeds with both species and may again be in peril as contact with other species in the wild resumes.^{[5][20]  above info from Wikipedia.}
