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.

For almost a month we showed you where the lobos do Pardo walk and talked about Pimenta female, a maned wolf with a living area of 50 km2!
The good news is that Pimenta female is with puppies. By the movement shown by the data from the necklace, the birth was registered on 08/06. The researchers of the Project lobos do Pardo don't know the number of puppies because the mothers are very sensitive and, therefore, they don't approach the burrow.
The problem is that the health of this female maned wolf of age estimated of 7 years old was always a little weakened! So, the project team follows her with attention, even more in this delicate period. As her collar started to present problems, the researchers had to make an emergency capture campaign to evaluate her health and reprogram the equipment, which allows following her at a distance in this important period with new cubs.
The procedures were carried out with all the safety and care that the occasion demands, following the recommendations of professionals of the health area!
Now, we can continue following Pimenta's next steps, hoping that she can create this offspring with health and safety!
This project is executed by Instituto Pró-Carnívoros in partnership with AES Tietê and collaboration of ICMBio-CENAP.
