The gestation period of a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is approximately 60 to 65 days. After mating, the female carries the developing embryos in her womb for this duration before giving birth to the pups. The gestation period is relatively short compared to some other canid species. Once the gestation period is complete, the female maned wolf will seek out a suitable den to give birth and raise her pups. The pups are born in the den and are initially blind and dependent on their mother for care and nourishment. It's worth noting that maned wolves typically give birth to a litter of pups, with the average litter size ranging from two to six individuals. The parents, particularly the mother, play a significant role in raising and protecting the offspring until they become independent
