The Rare and Elusive Maned Wolf
Earthjustice is the nation’s leading environmental law organization and has been doing the work since 1971. With the power of the law and some of the most dedicated legal minds, they take on one of the most urgent fights of our time: protecting the planet and its people.

In the tall grass of South America struts a walking enigma. Long-legged, flame-colored, and always alone but never lonely, it looks the part of a dog from hell. It looks like a fox, walks like a deer, and, of course, howls like a… banshee from your worst nightmare. This isn't the furry version of Slenderman, it's a very real canid. This is the maned wolf.
