LOOK AT THIS INCREDIBLY GOOD BOY

WHAT IN THE FUCK NIGHTMARE DOG IS THAT

That is a Maned wolf and they are lovely bizarre creatures!  They have long legs so they can see over the tall grass they live in, and tend to be very shy around humans (these are probably captive-born).  Have some more pictures:

Here’s a baby!

Poofy!

Maned wolves are gorgeous. They’re also fascinating, because they’re not wolves and they’re not very closely related to any other species of canid – they’re actually in a totally separate genus, Chrysocyon. 

They’re also nicknamed “skunk wolf” according to wikipedia, because of their odorous territorial markings, which is a distinct sort of stank I can personally confirm makes the appellation well earned.

This is why you should always love your sugar glider!

They do need a good amount of interaction (even if it is just riding around in a pocket all day). If they get very lonely, they can get depressed and go on a hunger strike, dying of starvation.

Little buddies are disturbingly cute.
