It can weigh up to 42 kilograms. A dense, erect mane along its neck helps it appear larger and more intimidating to other maned wolves. Its large ears aid in heat dissipation, helping regulate body temperature. Long legs provide excellent visibility in the tall grass of its natural habitat. When it walks, the legs on the same side of the body move together, leaving distinctive tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maned wolf has an omnivorous diet that includes a wide variety of both plant and animal matter. It feeds on fruits, arthropods, and small to medium-sized vertebrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breeding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maned wolf is predominantly a crepuscular species, meaning it is most active during dawn and dusk. It is highly territorial and forms stable pairs that share and defend a common territory. However, the pair is typically only seen together during the breeding season. For the rest of the year, they do not hunt or sleep together, though they may occasionally use the same den.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both parents take part in caring for the young. A typical litter consists of 2 to 3 cubs, born after a gestation period of about two months. The cubs remain with their parents for up to a year, after which they leave to establish their own territory and find a mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conservation and threats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maned wolf populations are in decline, primarily due to habitat loss caused by agricultural expansion. They also face various human-related threats, including roadkill, illegal hunting, and exposure to diseases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3159,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","inline_featured_image":false},"animal-category":[38,36],"animal-filter-1":[],"animal-filter-2":[],"class_list":["post-8099","animal","type-animal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Maned Wolf - Zoo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rigazoo.lv\/en\/animals\/maned-wolf\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Maned Wolf - Zoo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Taxonomy Conservation Distribution and Habitat The maned wolf is found in South America, where it primarily inhabits open landscapes.
