A reddish coat, stilt-like legs and a black mane give the Maned Wolf a fox-on-stilts look. At dawn and dusk it roams South America’s grasslands, crunching wolf apples and pouncing on rodents. Lone, shy and Near Threatened, it’s losing ground to farms, fire and roads.

Habitat: The Maned Wolf can be found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru
