In 1899 a young black maned Nubian lion escaped from Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie which was in Aston. |
The Brazilian government has classified the maned wolf as an endangered species. |
The maned wolf, a solitary denizen of South America's savannah grasslands, is the continent's largest wild canid, by far. |
The long legs of the maned wolf allow it to see better in the tall grasses of the savannah. |
No more will his great head and his maned shoulders strike terror to the hearts of the grass eaters at the drinking ford by night. |
True wolves are strict carnivores but the maned wolf is omnivorous. |
