Texas wolf

The Texas wolf (Canis Lupus Monstrabilis) is a possibly extinct subspecies of Canis Lupus, whose range once included 3 US states such as Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and inland to the Mexican border. It was darker than its most Northern cousins, and has a highly arched frontal bone. As of 2005, it is considered a valid subspecies by MSW3, though it is classified as either belonging to the Great plains wolf (Canis Lupus Nubilis) and Mexican wolf (Canis Lupus Baileyi) by the US fish and wildlife service. It was 1st classified as a separate subspecies in 1937. It was slightly bigger than the Mexican wolf. The Mexican wolf is the smallest of all North American wolves and the largest was the Kenai peninsula wolf, which is also extinct. Other canines in Texas include the Red fox, Coyote, Swift fox, Gray fox, Kit fox, and Red wolf. It went extinct in 1942, 5 years later after the wolf was 1st described. Hopefully, wolves will be reintroduced from Canada to the Gulf States.
