re: My parents just saw a Red Wolf near Elliot, MS.

That's why I'm asking. Said they passed it in a open clearing, he was standing near the road, and was no more than 15 ft away.

Both my parents have good eyesight, and both are well acquainted with wildlife. They tried telling me it was a grey wolf at first because his back was grey and belly was silver. I'm the one who found pictures of a Red Wolf and sent the pictures to them asking if that's what it was.

They didn't go out of their way to claim red wolf.

Edit: first thing I did was laugh and tell them it was impossible for them to have seen a wolf. I'm on y'alls side as far as that goes.
