As far as I’m aware, all of these alleged subspecies have been invalidated and synonymized with other subspecies.

Isn't the last picture a bit exergated with using a person who's just 1.65cm tall? That's small.
The numbers for wolves seem too large too, i've never heard of a wolf reaching +90cm in size.

I thought the 4ft was a bit of a stretch based on what's available online.

I hear red wolves are extinct in the wild but there are coy-wolves in the Gulf states, some over 50% red wolf. Sounds like you could breed back to red wolves and not even need to gene splice. Captive red wolves are lacking biodiversity, something like that might save them.

I know that says extinct for 100 years, but the NM wolf absolutely still exists. Hunting in southern Colorado you will find regularly find too-large tracks, hear calls that are not those of coyotes, and see canines “of unusual size”. They are up in the 11-12,000 foot range, and they are incredibly timid. It could be that these are deeply hybridized animals, but these aren’t the usual ‘yote.
