Is the Red Wolf Really Red? Despite the disclaimers in the technical literature, the wolves are red, some more than others - laced through the back of the ears and neck and splashed through their shoulders and haunches and legs. Not blood red...but the brown red color of certain animals like the copperhead and the grouse, a forest red that easily darkens to brown or black in a wolfs shoulders and across its back and flanks, or bleeds into the ruddy yellow that fades to the pale fur of its underbelly....Red in the signature way that a red-tailed hawk is red. Red as a point of departure. A red quickly hidden in the flowing motion of a running wolf, when the animal turns darker, almost black, not red at all.
