Red Wolves

A story made the news yesterday about coyotes on Galveston Island carrying the DNA of  red wolves.  The story said that the coyotes were about 40% wolf, and that the red wolf had been extinct in the wild for decades.
That decades part got to me - made me feel really old.  
That's because I can distinctly remember watching a mama wolf come down to the water to drink while I was fishing in Chocolate Bayou.  It was decades ago, probably about 1958, but it doesn't seem that long ago.
