São Paulo Zoo maned wolf cubs

Entities: Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) · Caju · Pitanga · São Paulo Zoo · Zoológico de São Paulo

Overview

In late July 2026 the São Paulo Zoo presented three newborn maned‑wolf cubs, the second litter of the rescued breeding pair Pitanga and Caju, to visitors. The birth was highlighted as part of the zoo’s ongoing conservation program aimed at protecting the vulnerable species in Brazil’s Cerrado.

A few days later, the zoo opened an online poll inviting the public to choose names for the two‑month‑old cubs. The poll, run on the zoo’s Instagram account, offered four sets of Brazilian‑inspired names and was conducted in partnership with national conservation agencies. The winning names will be announced after voting closes, continuing the zoo’s effort to raise awareness of the species’ threats such as habitat loss and road mortality.
