Georgia’s records for this wolf are historical, not current. NatureServe ranks it presumed extirpated in the state, and there are zero research-grade iNaturalist sightings, only archived GBIF records tied to specimens and old range data from the Coastal Plain and the Okefenokee Swamp region, where the species once ranged before it was trapped, poisoned, and hunted out of the Southeast in the early twentieth century.
There is no wild red wolf population in Georgia today. The species survives only through a single reintroduced population managed in eastern North Carolina, built from captive-bred animals after the wild population was declared extinct in the 1980s. Any red wolf story tied to Georgia is about the swamp and pineland habitat the species used to occupy, not an animal you could encounter here now.
Because the state carries no living population, seasonal or activity patterns can’t be meaningfully drawn from Georgia records, and the count above reflects historical documentation rather than ongoing presence.
