Are any wolf species endangered?

Answer

Yes, black and white tundra wolves are endangered. Sadly the tasmanian wolf is already extinct. Which some people are happy about becuase they were visous hunters and showed now mercy in any attack. And despite all that i don't believe it's good that they're extinct becuase it's still another species wiped out, whether for the good of it or not man is taking over the planet (which is bad) beacuse without other animals we become lonely and we can't live without them. There are only 3,000 tigers left in the world altogther, 40 snowleopards. at one time there were at least 30 different subspecies of wolf, most of which have now become extinct. There are only about 5 subspecies left today. england wiped out all of their wolves in the 1500's and sccotland killed all of theirs in 1700's. right now no 1 no's how many sub species there are...

Actually there are a number of endangered wolf species, they are as follows; the Red Wolf, Vancouver Island Wolf, Caspian Sea Wolf, Mexican Wolf, Arabian Wolf, Himalayan Wolf, Indian Wolf, Ethiopian Wolf, and Eastern Wolf.

Tasmanian wolves are actually NOT wolves, or even dogs. They are marsupials. Or, they were. They are considered extinct, though no one knows completely for sure. There are no such things as "tundra wolves." Sorry. The closest things that come to being tundra wolves are Arctic wolves and gray wolves, neither of which are endangered (gray wolves were recently taken off the list). Wolves come in a variety of colors, including black, red-ish, gray, and white, as well as a mixture of the colors.
Gray wolves and Ethiopian wolves al also endangered.

Additional Info: Currently The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species List did "list" the Gray Wolf again, along with the Maned Wolf, and the Red Wolf, mentioned above. This was in Oct. 2008. Things can, and do change often. If you'd like to see The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species List see web site listed below.
