This is a maned wolf from the Piaui State of northeastern Brazil. It is the tallest wild canid in the world standing over 3 feet tall at the shoulder. Due to its red fur and fox-like face and ears, it is often called a fox on stilts. This particular wolf came sniffing around our camp the previous two nights but I was hoping to photograph it in existing light without flash. Maned wolves are mostly nocturnal but will forage in the morning and late afternoon and finally on the third night it came by early enough that I was able to get a bunch of shots before dusk.
Shardae, I don’t know how many times we have to go over this. You can’t keep wild animals in your apartment. No tarsiers, no baby gorillas, no maned wolves.
