Maned wolf

Primarily inhabiting the Brazilian Cerrado, the maned wolf is also found in parts of Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. It prefers open fields, pastures, and areas with low vegetation.

The maned wolf is a solitary and crepuscular animal, being most active at dawn and dusk. It marks its territory with urine, which has a strong odor. It does not form packs like other wolves, and is generally seen alone or in pairs during the mating season.

The maned wolf is the largest canid in South America, with long, thin legs that help it move across open fields. It has a dense, reddish coat, large ears, and a narrow snout. It can weigh between 20 and 30 kg and measure up to 1 meter in height.
