A majestic creature known as the Maned Wolf

This is what happens when a fox has sex with a deer.

Wow!! At some point it feels like you've seen every wildlife show and reddit repost ever, but then someone goes and posts this improbable and beautiful creature. I feel like I'm looking at something out of a fantasy book. Thanks!

For those who don't feel like reading the whole wiki article, I just want to let you all know that while this animal has the word wolf in the name, it is not a wolf. And while it is often called a "fox on stilts" it is not a fox. There are 6 groups of canids recognized by zoologists: dogs, wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and these guys. They have their own classification. I designed a canine creature based on maned wolves for a class and did a ton of research on them. Edit: added link

The Natural Science Center in Greensboro, NC has some of these in their zoo.

The fact that it has paws instead of hooves is really fucking with me.

Pumadidas · 3 months

Saw these on an episode of Go Diego Go. Not sure if I should have admitted that or not, but I did. I must say the IRL version is more stunning.

And, interestingly enough, not really a wolf.

Skanh · 2 months

So...It looks like a fox, it have legs like a deer and it's named "wolf". Nice.

Also: "The maned wolf is the only survivor of the late Pleistocene extinction of the large South American canids."

So, i don't really read titles anymore, i just sorta open them all at once, and if they strike my interest i check out the title. But as soon as i saw this, i muttered: "Look at this majestic mother fucker, thinks he owns everything and shit."

If you're in NC you can see some of these guys at the Natural Science Center of Greensboro. I was there a few weeks ago and, yeah, these creatures are badass. Apparently they're quite sensitive to loud noises, so when you're in their habitat you're asked to be quiet. Here's the place:

If I remember correctly, Wolves and Horses actually have a common ancestor not that far back on the tree. So having longer legs like this comes as no surprise.

Looks like it came out of a Hayao Miyazaki movie or something, not sure how that came up to my head.

The natives here call it Aguará Guazú (means big aguará, big fox) and it's from a marsh area where he hunts.

The can be really, really big.

It's a portected species here so luckly people can't hunt them.

I've never seen one in the wild thou.

We have them at one of the zoos here in Phoenix, and you can smell them over the piles of rhino dung behind you.

I know this will probably get buried, but I seriously had a dream about this animal two nights ago. Its body was more deer-like in markings, but otherwise was exactly the same. I'm now having a panic attack because this animal is real and it was trying to eat me in my dream.

Unfortunately they are highly endangered due to the fact that they compete with farmers for land. Very difficult to spot one.
