00:03 Our planet is a magnificent set of unlikely possibilities.
00:21 Over millions of years, evolution
00:23 has transformed many species.
00:29 Currently, there are impressive animals
00:31 that have evolved in a different way than others.
00:35 And one of them is found living here in South America.
00:38 The maned wolf.
00:43 The maned wolf is an animal known for its long legs
00:52 and golden fur.
00:56 It is an endemic canid of South America.
01:00 That is, it occurs only in the southern portion
01:02 of the American continent.
01:04 It is estimated that its distribution
01:06 is located only in Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina,
01:10 and the Bolivian plains.
01:12 In Uruguay, the last individual seen was recorded in 1990.
01:23 It can reach between 95 and 115 centimeters in body length,
01:27 from 35 to 50 centimeters in the tail,
01:30 and 90 centimeters in height at the withers.
01:32 This animal can weigh between 20 and 36 kilograms,
01:41 with no significant differences between males and females.

01:54 When the jaguar meets the maned wolf,
01:57 it can end up becoming its meal.
02:00 According to research, the maned wolf
02:02 has the jaguar as its main predator.
02:06 It can also be attacked and killed by the cougar, also
02:09 called the puma.
02:12 Other cats can also attack and kill smaller maned wolves.
02:15 There are not many studies that show how often jaguars kill
02:18 and eat these wolves.
02:20 But it is known that this occurs more frequently in some regions.
