In the Maned Wolf] ''The Maned Wolf Resource''. Accessed 18 January, 2017. Unknown Author. </ref> Breeding season is between August and October. After a 65 day gestation period, the pups are born. At birth, the pups weigh 12-15 ounces (340-430 grams) and are dark grey in color (see picture at left). They change color as they grow and are red by 10 weeks. By 15 weeks, they are weaned. The Maned Wolf pups leave their parents at 1 year, when they become sexually mature. <ref name=uwsp> Melanie Hanson.
