I love maned wolves, but they’re also exactly how I image a skin walker would look👀

I always knew they existed, but I only saw one in person when I was already an adult, in a zoo, what surprised me is that they are actually way bigger then I thought they were.

And they are so quiet when they want that you'll never notice the pup in front of you, but if they are threatened or fighting they'll unleash the screech of a tormented soul in hell

I always imagine someone was chilling out in nature on some mushrooms and then something like this walks by. That's how a legendary story like a skin walker is born lol

u/MemphisBali 2d ago

u/Stoopid_Noah 1d ago

Maned wolves are awesome!!

Their long legs might lol weird but they also make them excellent runners and can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, As well as skilled jumpers, that can leap over 6 feet high.

They love fruits, especially the lobeira fruit, which makes up a big part of their diet.

Maned wolves hold significant cultural and spiritual importance in the indigenous communities of South America!

They are typically solitary animals and only come together during mating season, once a bond between two maned wolves is formed, they are known to form long-term monogamous pairs, with some pairs staying together for up to 13 years.

Maned wolves also play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems, helping to regulate prey populations and maintaining the diversity of plant species.

They are also just really cool!
