Maned Wolves are found in tall grasslands and scrub forests of South America. Their range extends across Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina, and a small area in Uruguay.<ref name=uwsp/> In tall grasslands, it is hot and humid. Few trees can survive because of undeveloped deep soil, but hardy grasses thrive here. The temperature can get to -40 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Rainfall averages at 25-60 inches per year. This biome's year is divided into two seasons: a dormant season when nothing can grow because of the frost and a growing season when the temperature is high enough and grasses can grow.<ref>M., Sam.
