True wolves are strict carnivores but the maned wolf is omnivorous. |
In Brazil's Pantanal, South America's largest wetlands, you'll stalk giant anteaters, armadillos, maned wolves, and jaguars. |
The maned wolf, a solitary denizen of South America's savannah grasslands, is the continent's largest wild canid, by far. |
The Brazilian government has classified the maned wolf as an endangered species. |
Certainly, paternal care is the general rule amongst canids so it might be expected in the maned wolf. |
The long legs of the maned wolf allow it to see better in the tall grasses of the savannah. |
