Just how rare are they in Mississippi? They are listed as critically endangered, but wondering if seeing 1 is as rare as seeing a mountain lion in say, Florida.

Probably saw a coyote dog cross
Red wolf is about liking seeing big foot

FIFY
Seeing a Florida panther in Florida is nowhere near as rare (aka, highly unlikely) as seeing a red wolf in Mississippi.

Were there any paw prints? Tell them to take some pictures of paw prints on the ground? I've been on St Vincent Island in Florida where they have a pair of red wolves, and their paw prints are absolutely massive. Almost as big as a human hand. I don't think that's a sure sign of a wolf by any means, but it would be more indicative than not.

Almost hunted to the brink of extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rounded up fewer than 20 red wolves to be bred in captivity in 1980. As of 2007, approximately 207 captive red wolves reside at 38 captive breeding facilities across the United States. However, fewer than 45 red wolves currently live in the wild.

...I'm not entirely sure where Centreville is. But I offer this.
The guy I bought my livestock guardian dog from, lives in yazoo city.
He had two females he was using to keep coyotes away about 10 years ago. One turned up pregnant. She has puppies, and all of them ended up even larger than she was (great Pyrenees). They were also all nearly black and pretty obviously wolf dogs.
He kept the largest male and ended up breeding him with a large Kangal female. I got a puppy off of the litter.
I've been around wolf dogs and coy dogs my entire life. I even had a near 100% hybrid when I was a kid. I, and the genetic test I did on him, can guarantee that his grandpa was a wolf.
Take that for what it's worth. Maybe a high content hybrid got out, maybe not. But my current dog is over 20% according to their dumb little test.
The eyes alone tell you that much.

One may say this is a red wolf too, but it's just a big arse coy dog. We see them all the time.
