The Maned Wolf of South America is the tallest member of the canid family, which includes wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and domestic dogs. Its long legs help it move easily through tall grass, while its distinctive black mane can be raised to make the animal appear larger when threatened.

This Safari Ltd. Maned Wolf figure features a slender build and long-legged proportions that accurately reflect the unique look of this species. The sculpt highlights the upright ears, narrow muzzle, and signature mane along the neck. The paintwork captures the reddish coat with darker accents, giving the model a natural and realistic appearance. A distinctive and eye-catching addition to any wildlife collection.
The maned wolf is native to South America, particularly in regions of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Despite its name, it is not a true wolf and is the only species in its genus.
Its long legs are an adaptation for life in tall grasslands, allowing it to see over vegetation while hunting. Unlike typical wolves, the maned wolf is more solitary and has an omnivorous diet, feeding on small animals, birds, and fruits—especially the lobeira fruit.
The black mane along its neck can be raised when the animal feels threatened, making it appear larger to potential predators. This unique combination of traits makes the maned wolf one of the most unusual members of the canid family.
