According to the Oklahoma Archeological Survey, wolves are no longer found in Oklahoma. In the 1930s, wolves were completely eradicated because to bounty hunting, a decimated bison population, and a diminished deer population. According to the Oklahoma State Game Wardens Association Magazine, unsubstantiated wolf rumours still exist in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma had a thriving red wolf population prior to the mid-1800s. Red wolves are thought to be the product of a mating between timber wolves and coyotes, according to wildlife specialists.
The last red wolves were captured in Oklahoma in 1980 by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as part of a breeding programme to save the species from extinction. Seven years later, wildlife officials released the red wolves in breeding pairs, but their numbers never rebounded.
