  One Big Fox<\/h2>\n

  As mentioned in the first point of this Wild Fact, the Maned Wolf essentially looks like a large fox with incredibly long legs. Incidentally, these long legs provide the Maned Wolf with the ability to see over the long grasses of South America. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that this canine is typically found in the open and semi-open grasslands throughout eastern South America, such as Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and at one point in time, they use to be found in Uruguay (most likely extirpated in this area). Luckily, these beautiful creatures are still around in other areas, however, they are currently listed as Near Threatened.<\/p>\n
