Animal of the Day: Maned Wolf!

Maned wolves are the tallest wild canine, standing at 26 to 42 inches at the shoulder. The Maned wolf's mane is to make it appear bigger when threatened.

 Maned wolves have a distinct order earning it the nick name "skunk wolf". Maned wolves are lone wolves, they do not form packs like other canines. Though they live apart, maned wolves are monogamous.

Half of the maned wolf's diet consists of fruit including sugar cane, tubers, and fruit. Maned wolves tap the ground with their ground, while hunting small animals, to scare the prey out of the grasses.
