At the Santuário do Caraça Monastery in Brazil, a tradition that has existed for decades is that monks leave little food for the maned wolves. Some visitors were lucky enough to see such a rare wolf up close. You can still see how shy and careful the wild wolf is around people. The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus – Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canine in South America. Its signs are similar to those of foxes, but he is neither a fox nor a wolf, as it is not closely related to other canines.
