Maned Wolf

Postby abstruse. » Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:09 am

This is a breed of wolf called a Maned wolf. Here is a photo of a real one:
http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/6 ... hyurus.jpg

These are pretty uncommon wolves- there are about 4,500 to 2,200 maned wolves in the world. They live in South America only, in the countries Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, and Bolivia. They thrive mostly on small rodents and chickens.
These wolves resemble the red fox, with their red fur, ear shape, and the shape of their face. The maned wolf's nickname is "Stilt-legged fox" because of their very long legs and their fox-like features. This breed of wolf actually resembles many dog-like critters: the wolf, the red fox, the African hunting dog, and the hyena.
Similar to other breeds of wolves, the maned wolf lives and hunts in packs of about 6 to 10 other maned wolves.

Most of my research is found at this site:

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

Maned Wolves are not true wolves, they are closer to foxes.
But still cool. :)

The drawing is cool to.

Thanks guys! :)

Mountainstream: I didn't know that! I looked at a few lists of the different breeds of wolves and it classified maned wolves as one. You could be right! ;)
