This hand-reared maned wolf had the best reaction when he spotted his carer in an animal shelter in Goias, Brazil.

In the video uploaded to YouTube on May 11, the wolf can be seen pacing the fence expectantly and heard squealing in welcome to his carer Natalia Cara.

Although the wolf is very friendly Cara told Storyful that he is still a wild animal and “should not be kept as pets (sic).” Credit: NataliaCM via Storyful
