        The red wolf (Canis rufus) is a canine native to the southeastern United States. Its size is intermediate between the coyote (Canis latrans) and gray wolf (Canis lupus).The red wolfs taxonomic classification as being a separate species, a subspecies of the gray wolf Canis lupus rufus, or a coywolf (a genetic admixture of wolf and coyote) has been contentious for nearly a century. Because of this, it is sometimes excluded from endangered species lists, despite its critically low numbers. Under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently recognizes the red wolf as an endangered species and grants protected status. Since 1996, the IUCN has listed the red wolf as a Critically Endangered species; however, it is not listed in the CITES Appendices of endangered species.

          Canis Niger is actually not a recognized term in biology or zoology. It appears to be a combination of Latin words, canis which translates as dog, and niger which translates as black. So, it can be inferred that canis niger might be used to refer to a black dog. However, in scientific classification, this term does not correspond to any particular species or breed.
