The Chrysocyon brachyurus, Maned wolf, is the largest canid in South America, occurring in areas with open formations such as the Pampa, Chaco and, mainly, the Cerrado. Here, we present two new records of the species in the semiarid region of Bahia State, Brazil. One individual was recorded by camera trap in the municipality of Igaporã (Cerrado domain) and another by an amateur cameraman in the municipality of Caetité (Caatinga domain). Our records expand the known distribution of the species and show that it can occur in areas more related to the semiarid.
