There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
''Last week, by recommendation and authorization of CENAP, we rescued five maned wolf cubs that were orphaned in their burrow in the surroundings of Pousada Trijunção - Cerrado where we monitor maned wolves in the region. Their mother, Caliandra had been monitored by our team for nine months through a GPS necklace and sightings. Knowing about the existence of the burrow our researchers were worried and intensified the search for Caliandra after two days without receiving updates on the necklace of this mother responsible for five small maned wolves. With great sadness she was found dead about 10 kilometers away from her burrow outside the limits of the farm where we work. The cause of her death is not known yet.
With information obtained from the necklace, we know that the puppies were born on June 1st and were orphaned on the last 23rd. After the rescue they were sent to the Zológico de Brasília (Brasilia Zoo) where a team of 12 professionals composed of biologists, veterinary doctor and others are monitoring the puppies to ensure their healthy growth.
Aren't they the sweetest thing? Our team and everyone involved are doing everything to make sure these Maned Wolves puppies one day return to nature and continue sowing the Cerrado that their mother once took care of.''
