Resumo

The Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado, despite the importance to biodiversity, suffer from changes in their phytophysiognomic aspects, due to anthropogenic actions. Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger, 1815, endemic specie of the Cerrado, is under threat of extinction, and records of this animal outside its natural occurrence area, in áreas of the Atlantic Forest, are frequent. Thus, this study had as objective to reports in the region of the Atlantic Forest of the Minas Gerais State, map the distribution points of the animal in the state, as well as discussing this geographical expansion. Records in areas of Atlantic Forest are ample, and this migration occurs, mainly, due to the change of landscape in this area, and, also, in the Cerrado. The impact of anthropogenic exploitation of natural resources threatens the maned wolf to extinction since fragmentation may cause discontinuity in the original patterns of gene flow; which is of concern not only to species, but, also, for organisms that maintain ecological relations with the animal. Conservation measures are necessary for the preservation of the specie and biomes in question.
