Here are some interesting facts: these animals really look unusual: red fur, black mane and long black legs; live in nature in the meadows and savannahs of South America; Maned wolves have permanent pairs, but individuals live separately: they share a common area, and hunt and rest each on their own; Maned wolves do not howl like gray wolves, but make loud barks. Maned wolves were first brought to Siberia in 1988. Photo: Novosibirsk Zoo Poster for NHS in MAX.
