#WildDogs

2025-09-10

Last week after sundown we heard two large dogs running free barking. We saw them pass in front of a streetlight, big dark shadows. Buddy was concerned but knew to be quiet. We got out of there as quickly as we could. #Wilddogs #DogsofMastodon #Twilight

Die Cowboys erzielten dagegen ihre 3 TDs durch erfolgreiche Pässe von QB Zach Whitehead auf WR Nicco Heiß und Anton Chereminskiy. Die Ballfänger der Cowboys, die auf ihren Star Gabe Boccella, aufgrund einer Verletzung verzichten mussten, stellten damit ihre Klasse unter Beweis.

Das Spiel bot den Football Fans alles, was was man sich wünschen kann. Zahlreiche Tournover auf beiden Seiten, starke Einzelaktionen einerseits und zwei Teams, die nicht aufgeben wollten.

Auf Seiten der war es vor allem die „Dre Harris Show“, die den Pforzheimern alle drei TDs einbrachten. Der agile QB der Wilddogs erledigte die Scores allerdings alle zu Fuß, zu einem TD-Pass kamen die Wilddogs nicht.

Wild Dogs:

With their painted coats and strong family bonds, these endangered animals face threats like habitat loss and disease. Fewer than 7,000 remain, let's protect these loyal guardians of nature! 🐾
Love it when their faces have a story to tell. Hard to tell until you get them on the big lens, but this wild dog appears to have a bad eye. Something not as noticeable in the moment. Wonder what happened.

Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus

Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus

Near Threatened

Extant (resident)

Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia. Now extinct in Uruguay.

The Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus is a captivating wild dog species known for their “foxes on stilts” appearance and distinctive cannabis-smelling urine odour. Their long legs allow them to peer over the tall grass in their South American grassland habitat. Solitary and enigmatic, they communicate through “roar-barks” while marking territory with their unique scent. Despite their fascinating quirks, this species faces significant threats. Deforestation due to palm oil, meat and soy agriculture, gold mining, and commodity crop plantations (like palm oil and soy) has fragmented their habitat, leaving them vulnerable to road mortality, disease transmission from domestic dogs, and poaching. These threats, coupled with habitat destruction, endanger their future. You can make a difference by fighting for their survival every time you shop. Use your wallet as a weapon and boycott palm oil and boycott gold to protect them #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

The unusual look of Maned #Wolves have earned them the nickname ‘Foxes on Stilts’, they are solitary hunters in #Brazil #Peru and #Bolivia. Help them to survive when you #BoycottGold #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect https://wp.me/pcFhgU-7Pv

Appearance & Behaviour

The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), known as South America’s tallest canid, stands at nearly a meter high and sports long, slender legs adapted to spotting prey over the tall grasses of their native habitat. Their reddish-brown fur, black legs, and signature mane give them a striking and unmistakable appearance. Despite resembling foxes and wolves, they’re neither and instead represent a unique branch of the canid family. They are solitary, often shy, and communicate through distinctive “roar-barks” while marking their territory with cannabis-like scented urine.

  • Foxes on Stilts: Their long legs earned them this nickname as it helps them peer above the grass for prey.
  • Solitary Wanderers: Unlike most canids, they are solitary hunters, patrolling vast territories alone.
  • Cannabis-Like Odour: Their urine contains a compound that smells remarkably like cannabis, giving them the nickname “skunk wolf.”
  • Vital Seed Dispersers: Feeding on native fruits, they help disperse seeds throughout the ecosystem, playing a crucial role in plant biodiversity.

To protect this species, consumers can join the movement by avoiding and boycotting commodities associated with the destruction of their home. Help them to survive by being vegan and avoiding meat, #BoycottGold and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.

Threats

  • Habitat Reduction: Deforestation and conversion of rainforest for palm oil, soy and meat agriculture are reducing their habitat.
  • Road Mortality: Increasing road networks lead to death or injury from vehicle collisions.
  • Disease Transmission: Domestic dogs pose a significant threat due to passing on diseases.
  • Poaching: Illegal hunting of Maned Wolves continues to pose a danger.

Conservationists and local communities are working together to safeguard the Maned Wolf’s future. By boycotting palm oil, and advocating for wildlife-friendly policies, you can be a strong force for change and fight for their survival. Remember to #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife in the supermarket!

Habitat

Maned Wolves are found in South America’s grasslands, savannahs, and forests across Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru. They favour grasslands with scattered trees and bush lands in higher altitudes but are known to adapt to plantations and even agricultural landscapes.

Diet

The maned wolf is omnivorous, feasting on a variety of foods. Their diet includes small mammals, birds, eggs, and insects, but they also love fruits and plants. They especially favour “wolf apple,” a fruit that provides both sustenance and protection from parasites.

Mating and breeding

Monogamous pairs share large territories but often interact only during mating season, which ranges from November to April. Females give birth to litters of 2-6 pups after a gestation period of 60-65 days. While the pups are primarily cared for by their mother, the father also plays a role.

Support Maned Wolves by going vegan and boycotting palm oil in the supermarket, it’s the #Boycott4Wildlife

I watched yet another animal feature on National Geographic, this time it was on Botswana Wild Dogs. The scene of how they stir up buffalo and chase after the herd was absolutely incredible.

Attached are my takeaways.
