The animal also is found in some provinces of Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Bolivia and Uruguay (possibly extinct).
It is social and mainly employs short-distance signals, which promote approach behavior (tail-wagging), reduce intraspecific aggression (displays of active submission), and allow the maintenance of constant contact in the forest (the squeak vocalization). The maned wolf ( Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America and inhabits the Cerrado biome, some areas in the Pantanal, and in the southeast region of Brazil ( de Paula and Gambarini, 2013 ). Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) Detailed data / dimensions (size) Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) Body length without tail: 100 cm (39 in) The length of the tail: 45 cm (18 in) Height at the withers: 74-90 cm (29 35 in) Weight: average 23 kg (51 lb) Lifespan: up to 16 years in captivity Speed: max. By contrast, Speothos is a cooperative hunter of the Neotropical rainforest, feeding mainly on rodents that are large relative to its own size. The maned wolf relies primarily on signals that carry well over long distances and tend to promote the spacing of individuals through avoidance (for example, the bark), a conspicuous visual threat display, and locus-specific defecation. Chrysocyon, inhabiting the savannahs of South America and feeding primarily on small vertebrates, invertebrates, and fruit, exhibits a dispersed social system, that is, it is essentially solitary in habit. (a) the maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus (now rare) (b) a small wolf with a cinnamon or tawny-coloured coat, often referred to Canis rufus but possibly of. Differences in communication mechanisms between these two South American canids could be correlated with their social organization and ecology. Social behavior of the maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, and bush dog, Speothos venaticus, was compared.
