I will always see maned wolves as some kind of Avatar The Last Airbender hybrid animal. Fox-deer.

Oh.

Its bigger than I thought it was

Maned wolves walk differently than most animals as well!! As it walks, its left side and right side move together. This is called a pacing gait, and if it moved the way most other animals walk, alternating the right and left side (see how your pet walks sometimes), it would trip over its own lanky lanky legs.
