Rare Maned Wolf Crosses Road in Central South America

A’maned wolf’ was sighted crossing a street in an unusual animal sighting. The interesting aspect is that the animal appears to be a wolf at first glance, but upon closer scrutiny, it appears to be a fox. However, it does not fall within either of these categories. The endangered species lives in remote parts of central South America. Reg Saddler, a Twitter user, shared a peek of the same. The user was taken aback by the situation and captioned the photo, “Does anyone know what the heck this is?!”

There’s an episode of them stealing food from a home or hotel too close to their habitat and it’s fascinating! Have to see if I can find it.”

“Looks like a maned wolf,” another person commented.

The maned wolf, according to Britannica, is a rare large-eared canine found in isolated plains regions of central South America. The maned wolf is distinguished by an erectile mane, long reddish-brown hair, unusually long blackish legs, and a fox-like head. The maned wolf eats small animals, insects, and plants.
