Nice article from the Victoria Advocate that includes photos and video of the red wolves.

The Texas Zoo is doing its part to help save a species that was on the brink of extinction.

On Friday morning, three female red wolves were introduced from the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas.

"Red wolves are reported to be extinct in Texas and all throughout the southern states, with only 307 red wolves recorded to be alive. Out of that number, 200 are in captivity," MeBane said. "Their population dwindled due to things like deforestation, poachers, cross-breeding with coyotes and encroachment by humans."
