Maned Wolf
Its Amazing Adaptation:The Maned Wolf, also known as Chrysocyon Brachyurus has an amazing adaptation of long black legs. The Maned Wolves amazing adaptation helps it look over tall grass to find its prey which would be small animals such as rodents or birds
that live there. The reason part of its adaptation is black legs is possibly to camouflage in the dark grass. It would be hard for the Maned Wolf to find and catch its prey in long grass before it got its long legs and it could not get food to survive, so overtime it developed long legs to solve this survival issue. |
