Lobo Guará (Guara Wolf/ Maned Wolf))

Lobo Guará (Guara Wolf) is the bigger specie of Canidae in Brazil. They are found all over countryside, mainly in Minas Gerais. They reach almost 5ft of height (head) and 40 kilos (male). Each male needs a great area to survive (basically 15km²). The colors are fantastic. This shot was taken in the Caraça's Sanctuary, a Particular Natural Reserve in the "heart" of Minas Gerais, Brazil. more information in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maned_wolf
