The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America, resembling a dog with reddish fur. It is called lobo-guará ("Guará Wolf") in Portuguese, aguara guazú ("Big Fox") in Guarani, and lobo de crin ("maned wolf") in Spanish.

Description The Maned Wolf has often been described as "a Red Fox on stilts" due to its similar coloration and overall appearance, though it is a far larger animal and is not related to the genus Vulpes. The adult animal stands almost 1 m (3 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weighs 20 to 25 kg. (50 to 55 lb)[2]. Its fur is reddish brown to golden orange on the sides, with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat. The mane is erectile, and is typically used to enlarge the wolf's profile when threatened or when displaying aggression.

Habits
Social structure Unlike other large canids (Wolves, African Hunting Dogs, Dholes) the Maned Wolf does not form packs.[2] Monogamous pairs may defend a shared territory, though the wolves themselves may seldom meet, outside of mating. Several adults may congregate in the presence of a plentiful food source; a fire-cleared patch of grassland, for example, which would leave small vertebrate prey exposed to foraging wolves. Gestation lasts 67 days, and a litter may have up to 2-6 pups. “Gray Wolves†redirects here. ...

They use their urine to communicate. It has a very distinctive smell, which some people liken to just opened beer, or cannabis.

Diet Whereas other large canids hunt cooperatively to capture ungulate prey, maned wolves specialize in small and medium-sized prey.[4] At night Maned Wolves search for rodents, hares and birds. Fruits are a large fraction of their diet. Most interestingly of all, a large portion of the diet, over 50%, according to some studies, is made of fruits and plant matter, especially Loberia fruit, also known as Wolf Apples, the tomato-like fruit of Solanum lycocarpum.[5] Captive maned wolves were traditionally fed meat-heavy diets and developed kidney stones. Zoo diets now feature fruits and vegetables, as well as meat and dog chow.

Relations with other species Maned wolves participate in symbiotic relationships with the plants that they feed on, as they carry the seeds of various plants, and often defecate on the nests of the leaf-cutting ant. The ants then use the dung to fertilize their fungus gardens. The wolf is particularly susceptible to renal nematode infections, a potentially fatal parasite. The maned wolf is not a true, common prey species for any other predator, though it may be attacked or killed by feral domestic dogs. The Cougar is a potential competitor. (O. Courtenay, 1994; [1]).

Relations with man The Maned Wolf is said to be a potential chicken thief; it was once also considered a cattle and sheep killer, though this is now known to be false. In Brazil, the animal was historically hunted down for some body parts, notably the eyes, that were believed to be good luck charms. However, as they are now classified as endangered by the Brazillian government, they are afforded protection from poachers. Wolves are also endangered by habitat loss and being run over by cars, though there are some positive benefits from the conversion of forest into grassland by humans. Domestic dogs are the greatest threat, by harming the wolves directly and by carrying diseases. The Maned Wolf is shy and flees when alarmed, and it poses little direct threat to man. Maned wolves are well represented in captivity and have been bred successfully at a number of zoos. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Taxonomy The Maned Wolf is not closely related to any other canid. It is apparently a survivor from the Pleistocene fauna of large South American mammals; its closest relatives seem to be the dogs and wolves (genus Canis). Previously, some authorities placed it with the various South American foxes, others with the Bush Dog. The Pleistocene epoch (IPA: ) is part of the geologic timescale. ...
