The Maned Wolf is a very unusual member of the dog family. Not a true wolf at all, it is the sole remaining remnant of the prehistoric carnivores from South American. Truly a unique and rare animal with a skunk like defense scent, a unique gate, and an amazing vocalization called a roar -bark.

www.houstonzoo.org Dora and Diego, the Houston Zoo's maned wolf pups, are five weeks old and growing fast. Keeper and clinic staff continue to care for them 24 hours a day, including spending the night on a cot in the clinic right next to them. They are now eating a combination of food and formula and their fur is just starting to show some grown up characteristics.

www.houstonzoo.org The Houston Zoo is proud to announce the births of two endangered maned wolf pups. Born December 30 to mom Lucy, 6 years old and father Seis, 8 years old, the pups are being hand reared at the Houston Zoo's Denton Cooley Animal Hospital. "This is the first successful birth of maned wolves at the Houston Zoo in over 10 years," said Houston Zoo Curator of Carnivores and Primates Hollie Colahan. "The pups weigh just over 5 pounds now and are being cared for around the clock by Zoo carnivore and animal hospital staff," added Colahan. The pups are fed 6 times each day and were just introduced to solid food last week. The pups, Diego and Dora, were named after the lead characters in the children's television cartoon programs Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go. Maned wolves were featured prominently in an episode of Go Diego Go. Maned wolves are native to the grasslands, savannahs and tall grass prairies of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. The species once thrived and ranged throughout much of South America. Unlike other wolves that live in cooperative breeding packs, maned wolves are solitary animals. Little is known about their lives in the wild where their populations are increasingly threatened by habitat loss to agriculture. There are less than 100 maned wolves living in zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Only 17 maned wolf pups were born in 2009. Studies are in place to understand why maned wolves breed poorly. Information <b>...</b>

www.houstonzoo.org In February the maned wolf pups moved from their nursery in the clinic to a private room in the cheetah's night house. After a few days of settling in, they were let outside for the first time while the cheetahs were inside. They have been taking turns in the yard with the cheetahs and will not be put together with them.
MANED WOLF SLEEPING The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America, resembling a large fox with reddish fur. This mammal is found in open and semi-open habitats, especially grasslands with scattered bushes and trees, in south, central-west and south-eastern Brazil (Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Goiás, São Paulo, Federal District and recently Rio Grande do Sul), Paraguay, northern Argentina, Bolivia east and north of the Andes,[4] and far south-eastern Peru (Pampas del Heath only).[5] It is very rare in Uruguay, being possibly extinct [6]. IUCN lists it as near threatened,[2] while it is considered vulnerable by the Brazilian government (IBAMA). It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon. It is locally known as aguará guazú (meaning "large fox" in the Guarani language), lobo de crin, lobo de los esteros or lobo colorado, and as lobo-guará in Brazil. It is also called borochi in Bolivia. The maned wolf has often been described as "a red fox on stilts" owing to its similar coloration and overall appearance, though it is much larger than a red fox and belongs to a different genus. The adult animal stands 67 to 107 cm (26 to 42 in) tall at the shoulder, averages 149 cm (59 in) in total length and weighs 20 to 34.09 kg (44 to 75.2 lb).[7][8][9] The maned wolf is the tallest of the wild canids. The long legs are probably an adaptation to the tall grasslands of its native habitat.[10] Fur of the maned wolf may be reddish brown to <b>...</b>

The Wolf that isn't a Wolf...... Maned wolves are omnivores that forage for frogs, rats, snakes, eggs, insects, etc.....and of course fruit and vegetables. In their native South America they enjoy lobeira fruit (fruit of the wolf). Here their diet includes cantaloupe, avocado, sweet potato, apples and a variety of appropriate items. Today, they are getting a special treat of homemade 'fruit-sicle'. Learn more about Maned wolves. See more videos and photos on our Endangered Wolf Center Facebook page.
