Canis rufus floridanus edit

Who was the taxonomic authority that designated the Florida black wolf to be a subspecies of Canis rufus? Regards,  William Harris |talk  06:12, 16 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Found it - Goldman 1944 - will update the article.  William Harris |talk  09:37, 16 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Conflicting dates re: C. l. floridanus extinction edit

This page and the page regarding all subspecies of Canis Lupus list different dates of extinction, 1934 vs 1908 respectively. Whatever date is chosen, it should be listed consistently. 67.166.113.142 (talk) 13:37, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

This is false information ! edit

This article is ridiculous. The red Wolf is not extinct, you can see some at the Brevard Zoo in Florida; they are endangered. The black Wolf was also spotted in the panhandle a few years back and is believed to be back too. 185.191.217.116 (talk) 06:24, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Disputed edit

I am adding a "Disputed" tag to the article due to the lack of verifiable sources and notability (see Wikipedia:Notability), as well as the article itself saying "one source believes the Florida black wolf to be a type of coyote, rather than a separate subspecies of red wolf". I also cannot find any evidence of studies done on the Florida black wolf, including DNA studies, or even if any specimens of this subspecies exist. Obversa (talk) 20:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
