Two 11-month-old maned wolves arrive at Crocodylus Park | NT News


ARE they dogs, foxes, or wolves?

They’re maned wolves, and two 11-month-old brothers have just arrived in Crocodylus Park in Berrimah.

Rio and Pasho are two of only a dozen maned wolves in Australia.

They’re native to the South American tropical grasslands, so should be right at home in the Top End, zoo supervisor Simon Ferguson says.

“They’re quite a rare species,” he said.

“There’s less than 2500 left in the world. They look like a giant fox on stilts.

“They’ve really long legs and are 70cm tall at the shoulder. They’re a large, doglike animal but they’re very shy and timid.”

He said they have hidden away in their enclosure since they arrived earlier this week, but would be on full display to the public from today.

The maned wolves are omnivores, so will be fed “a fruit risotto mix”.

“We give them a meat day and then a fruit and rice day,” he said.
 
so now they have four male maned wolves? Or are the first two no longer there?
