Maned wolf


This odd creature (which, let's be honest, looks a bit like a deer crossed with a fox) is the maned wolf of wolf southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, and northern Argentina. It has a bold yet delicately toned auburn coat and incredibly long legs. It stands around three feet tall (1metre) and it's ears , rather like a bats, can detect the smallest sounds. Those magnificent ears stand seven inches tall! That's 18cm. If you look at it on a ruler, you'll see that's enormous! 
They eat small mammals, large rodents, birds, and even fish occasionally. They have usually 2-6 black-furred cubs.
