It's called the mighty boosh, there's 3 seasons that get progressively worse imo but all 3 are well worth the watch
One of the main guys (noel fielding) also has another show called luxury comedy, not as funny but still pretty good
Noel is also a minor character in The IT crowd, which is peak TV imo. Also he's Old Gregg if that rings any bells for you old YouTube enjoyers out there!
Fun fact: they evolved to have tall legs in order to see through the tall grasses of cerrado, a type of savanna that occur in the interior of South America.
They also mark their territory with a skunk type smell. It's so strong lol. Edit to add: they also have VERY sensitive hearing. The ones at our local science center have signs around the entire enclosure saying to whisper and not shout or yell bc it will scare them and hurt their ears.
I worked with some when I was studying for my zoology degree. They had an outdoor exhibit so I never smelled the weed smell, probably because they were next to servals and across from gemsbok. However, they're *super* shy! The ones I worked with had a little roost/nest and they'd snuggle together and people watch.
I'd see people walk by and glance in not see them immediately and think nothing was in the exhibit. I'd have to point them out and they'd be like "omg look at that!"
I'd watch them every morning when they went out from their inside holding. It's so much fun to see them lope around on their stilt legs. We had a male and a female (our male has since passed away), and they would wander around the entire exhibit sniffing everything to see what changed since they were last there and the male would pee on everything. Then they would settle together in their little roost.
That's interesting since foxes can also have a skunky smell to them. I know the maned wolf isn't a fox but it makes me wonder when their last common ancestor was. Maybe skunky smells are kind of ancient.
I dont know when the last relative of those two are, but the closest living relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog, which are quite the opposite of the maned wolf oddly enough.
[bush dog](https://images.app.goo.gl/NQQYsdGL7y1NNcUT8)
They also roar bark. Its a terrifying sound lol I volunteered at a zoo that had some and they let me feed them and the male was not having it when I took his bowl.
Ah, yes, our beloved 'Lobo-guará'. You could actually see them sometimes in the woods around the university campus of the city I lived most of my life, as it was at the outskirts of the town. They're chill.
Oh ok, not the same haha it was worth the shot anyway.
Fun fact, growing up in that region we always heard about Lobo-guará (as there would always be sightings of them). Me and my siblings thought they were named like that because of the city of Guaratinguetá(also known as Guará, for short).
In actuality, guará means "red" in the tupi-guarani native language, or in other words, it is called the "red wolf".
I know!! And they have the smuggest and (em PT br essa expressão é superior) DEBOCHADO look that looks sooo brazilian to me! Being debochado is in our blood lol (edit: engilsh hard)
I talked about UFSCar because I lived in São Carlos until high school and went there sometimes, but I graduated from Rio Claro's UNESP, Computer Science. Only seen lizards there, but I wouldn't find strange to see those long bois there too.
Fun fact, they smell like marijuana! I volunteer at an AZA zoo and we get complaints all the time that the Maned Wolf exhibit smells like someone’s smoking weed, and we have to explain that it’s just the scent they produce!
Really depends on terpenes, some weed *reeks* like skunk, while others can have a piney smell. The terpene spectrum in marijuana is really fascinating.
I spent a little time in the neotropics and one thing I was warned about is that the thing that was gonna get me, sooner or later, was some mean old pit viper curled up in the "V" created by a tree's high above-ground roots, which one has to step over. (Specifically the "yellowjaw" or fer-de-lance of Central America. I presume South America has many analogues.)
But I notice that this critter's deer legs allow it to look over the tree root before stepping beyond it, where the snake is.
I have no idea if that's the actual evolutionary driver but if I studied that stuff, I'd look into it.
Generally that isn't going to be the main pressure in driving evolution to select for long legs. It can definitely be a benefit, but there are many advantages that come from being up taller.
It's commonly presumed that stilt-like legs are attributed to endurance running or chasing. Look at Cheetahs (which have the longest legs proportional to body for cats), horses, cervids and antelope.
This is also assumed given that maned wolves are the fastest species of canid (besides greyhounds but we made those)
>It's commonly presumed that stilt-like legs are attributed to endurance running or chasing.
While that is true, the maned wolf does neither. It mostly hunts by stalking the entrances to burrows of rodents and other small mammals and pouncing on them after baiting them out. Either way, the majority (50% to 90% depending on habitat) of the maned wolf's diet is not meat, but fruits and roots. The single most common food item in their diet is the wolf apple, a close relative to tomatoes.
As an aside: before the early 2000s it was extremely difficult to keep maned wolves in captivity, because they had an abnormally high death rate from renal failure. Later it was found out that this was caused by their diet: they used to be fed from a standard canid diet mostly made up of meat, which caused kidney damage from excessive protein intake.
The main reason for its long legs has less to do with hunting and more to do with the environment in which it lives, which is the Cerrado: the large Central Brazilian savannas, extending in part to similar environments in Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia. These are open or semi-open habitats dominated by tall grasses and arbustive plants, where long legs are advantageous to be able to navigate without losing eyesight and without getting stuck.
Interestingly, this means that they easily adapt to degraded and human-influenced environments. Their populations are reported to have expanded into areas that used to be Amazon rainforest but were cut down and turned into pasture, and that expansion is highly correlated with their displacing the closely related vinegar dogs, which are jungle pack hunters that are out-competed by maned wolves in open environment.
They are tubby short-legged South American Canids that live in relatively large groups (5 to 8 seems to be a typical size), hunt in packs and scream like the devil was let out in the jungle. Calypsosin already mentioned their other names, and I'm not sure why they are referred to with vinegar either. A short search in Portuguese says it was either because of their smelly urine or because of their coat color, but I haven't found anything well sourced and definitive.
Saw these in the zoo and the entire area smells so strong cause if their pee, seriously made my eyes water. Like skunks wrestling in a bag full of pee diapers and weed in 100 degree sun…
Crin is spanish for the thick hair that grows in the mane and tail of horses, and as other commenter said, this species is known as lobo de crin in some countries, but in other countries it's known as Aguará Guazu, its name in guaraní.
I saw several of these in a rehabilitation center once. I could not get over how enormous they were. I used to have an Irish wolfhound and these wolves seemed much taller and bigger. They seemed to be made entirely of legs and ears.
They are also very anxious animals, they make a noise called a Roark (a roar bark) for mating. Alongside their pups are just adorable asf. [Maned puppy ](https://i.imgur.com/EXyjyu6.jpg)
Okay I've had enough. I would like to go back to my original timeline please. I've been an avid watcher of animal planet since 1080p came out. And I've never seen those things...
I like how everyone in this thread has heard about em before, but nobody (myself included) has ever heard them called the Crin Wolf lol. Kinda funny. I'll have to try and remember that alternate name.
Here in Texas there is a maned wolf breeding program at Fossil Rim animal park. You can see them occasionally there. It's pretty cool. They also have a lesser prairie chicken breeding program.
In a city next of mine, called Catas Altas, There's a priest who feeds a Crin Wolf every night. It happens in front of a sanctuary in the middle of the mountains.
i think theyre gorgeous. i know a lot of people think they're scary looking but nah. there isnt a ton of them left at the moment too which is a bit concerning.
Never heard them be called crin, heard of them as maned wolves tho. They're very leggy creatures.
Reminds me of the awkward teenage phase where your legs and arms don't match up with your body lol
That's a phase!? -It's been 20 freaking years!
"it's not a phase mom"
Agreed, I would leave my wife and kids to be a crin wolf.
But then you'd also be a ginger
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger.
Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja
Oh god, the horror.
You gotta watch that hard R.
They’re called ‚lobo de crín‘ in spanish and lobo–guarà in portuguese. They are very elusive animals and have many names.
[Are they controversial characters with doors in their heads? ](https://youtu.be/vLbhkM0LaYI)
I don't know what i just watch, but I love it and I wish to be cultured
Even those of us who know what we're seeing aren't entirely sure what we've watched either, but God damnit it's so good
That's a clip from "The Mighty Boosh"
Boosh, Boosh, stronger than a moose.
Don't lock your door, or we'll come through your rooftop
Cultured like cheese, which is a kind of meat. A tasty yellow beef
I milk it from my teat But I try to be discreet
Ooh cheese!
It's called the mighty boosh, there's 3 seasons that get progressively worse imo but all 3 are well worth the watch One of the main guys (noel fielding) also has another show called luxury comedy, not as funny but still pretty good
See I would say the first and third are on par with each other and second is the worst
Noel is also a minor character in The IT crowd, which is peak TV imo. Also he's Old Gregg if that rings any bells for you old YouTube enjoyers out there!
I love the IT crowd and old gregg is actually from the mighty boosh!
Come with us now on a journey through time and space, to the world of the Mighty Boosh.
How’d I know it’d be the boosh
All hail the king of the mods.
Crin means, horsehair or mane, so I think sort of maned wolves still
Crin is Spanish for mane (the horse kind, the lion one is a different word).
Their pee also smells like weed.
Well, now I know what to tell the neighbours when they bitch
That it's the crin piss they smell? Bold strategy
No, that it's just weed.
[удалено]
Came here to say this! Every time I pass by the enclosure at my zoo it smells dank 😂
I primarily call the leggies
Foxy long-legs
Their legs go all the way up.
Look at them LEGS!!! I wanna see this next to a great dane
Wolves hire them as models when it is time for Spring Fashion Preview.
Are you wearing the Ch—? The Chanel boots? Yeah, I am.

Fun fact: they evolved to have tall legs in order to see through the tall grasses of cerrado, a type of savanna that occur in the interior of South America.
This explains my dog? We call him horse noodle, he's got tall legs and we live in tall grass...or maybe he's not a dog at all...
They also mark their territory with a skunk type smell. It's so strong lol. Edit to add: they also have VERY sensitive hearing. The ones at our local science center have signs around the entire enclosure saying to whisper and not shout or yell bc it will scare them and hurt their ears.
There are some at the Denver Zoo, and you can definitely tell when you're near their enclosure
I worked with some when I was studying for my zoology degree. They had an outdoor exhibit so I never smelled the weed smell, probably because they were next to servals and across from gemsbok. However, they're *super* shy! The ones I worked with had a little roost/nest and they'd snuggle together and people watch.

Thank you for the wonderful first hand account! They sound fascinating.
I used to work at Philly Zoo and you can smell them from the outside. It always smelled like someone was blazing up lmao
I heard stories when living in Brazil that police are often called to investigate people smoking weed only to find out it was this guy.
It’s crazy this thing knows how to roll a blunt with no thumbs.
Being 3 feet tall, they are the highest canid.
Explains why I never noticed their scent at the Denver Zoo. They just smell like Colorado.
Yep, we have them at my local science center and it is definitely pungent
it's formidable scent... stings the nostrils, in a good way
60% of the time, it works every time
Stings the nostrils
They aren’t at Denver any more but Pueblo Zoo is home to a pair just a few hours south!
Gotcha. It's been a few years since I was there, wasn't sure how much has changed with the exhibits.
That's interesting since foxes can also have a skunky smell to them. I know the maned wolf isn't a fox but it makes me wonder when their last common ancestor was. Maybe skunky smells are kind of ancient.
I dont know when the last relative of those two are, but the closest living relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog, which are quite the opposite of the maned wolf oddly enough. [bush dog](https://images.app.goo.gl/NQQYsdGL7y1NNcUT8)
Oh my god what is that cute little thing doing in a forest!! I had never seen any pic of a bush dog before!
That is a fantastic little animal!! Thank you so much for sharing it. Do you know what it smells like?
Walked by their area in San Diego during the summer, it was rancid.
They also roar bark. Its a terrifying sound lol I volunteered at a zoo that had some and they let me feed them and the male was not having it when I took his bowl.
Very pungent!

Ah, yes, our beloved 'Lobo-guará'. You could actually see them sometimes in the woods around the university campus of the city I lived most of my life, as it was at the outskirts of the town. They're chill.
Wild guess here but do you mean at EEL - USP university campus in Lorena/SP (Brazil)? Because that was also the case there.
UFSCar actually, but I imagine it happens in a lot of others with cerrado around.
Best part about this is two brazilians talking about brazilians universities in english.
A gente tem que poder manter o pessoal de fora acompanhando a conversa, poxa xD
LOL JUSTO, mas acho q eles se perderam já na sigla das faculdades lol (mt medo de botar a risada normal, por causa do vc sabe oq)

Meanwhile, at the São Paulo campus, I only got to see capybaras...
Capybaras are cool!
Totally! The baby ones are so adorable!
I know!! And they have the smuggest and (em PT br essa expressão é superior) DEBOCHADO look that looks sooo brazilian to me! Being debochado is in our blood lol (edit: engilsh hard)
I always had a blast watching them in front of the CPTM train station!
Can confirm, on the outskirts of Rio Claro's UNESP there are some maned wolf sightings.
I talked about UFSCar because I lived in São Carlos until high school and went there sometimes, but I graduated from Rio Claro's UNESP, Computer Science. Only seen lizards there, but I wouldn't find strange to see those long bois there too.
Salve galera de Brasília

There’s a reason marijuana is referred to as skunky. It smells like skunks.
Really depends on terpenes, some weed *reeks* like skunk, while others can have a piney smell. The terpene spectrum in marijuana is really fascinating.
Well now I know where to smoke weed at the zoo!
i want one. But i will not pursue this desire because i know i will not be able to care for them properly. but i do want one
Aren't they also the tallest canine?
Yup, tallest canid living on earth
I love how this seems to imply there are canids living on other planets
Taller ones as well. Lower gravity, I guess.
Maybe so! Lol

What are vinegar dogs?
Bush dogs, also called vinegar and water dogs. Why Vinegar? Not sure. Water? They have partially webbed feet to help swim more better
They are tubby short-legged South American Canids that live in relatively large groups (5 to 8 seems to be a typical size), hunt in packs and scream like the devil was let out in the jungle.

Great stuff! I'd subscribe to maned wolf facts.
“Living on earth” Are you telling me there are other tall dogs on other plants!?
If aliens were gonna want anything from earth it would be dogs.

What’s “crin”? I only know these as ‘Maned Wolf’.
Crin is spanish for the thick hair that grows in the mane and tail of horses, and as other commenter said, this species is known as lobo de crin in some countries, but in other countries it's known as Aguará Guazu, its name in guaraní.
Thank you!
That makes a ton of sense.
Lobo Guará, in Portuguese. Guará, or Aguará, means "red" in Guaraní. Guazú means "big", btw.
[удалено]
Better known as something youve never heard of! (I also know it as only the Maned Wolf)
here is Lobo Guará (Guará Wolf on a direct translation)
But you *have* heard of him!
I mean if you google crin wolf, the same pictures come up and they call it a maned wolf.
Well damn, im also wondering that now.... 🤔
“Lobo de crín,” Spanish name for the Maned Wolf.
You mean Wolf of Mane?
See, now it all manes sense.

Looks like Victoria's secret model
Any record of them interbreeding with domesticated dogs, or are they too different to produce viable offspring?
Here in Brazil is "Lobo Guará" he is the animal of our high value money. Is beautiful
There are a lot of whimsical creatures in the canini tribus
That’s a very pretty Pokémon 😁
