About the maned wolf:

Scientific name: Chrysocyon brachyurus
Classification: canid mammal
Species from Brazilian fauna: yes.

Chrysocyon brachyurus, a typical Cerrado (tropical savanna ecoregion of Brazil) mammal, is the largest canid in South America. It has a slender and elegant build, reddish coloration (Tupi: guará = red) with patterns similar to those of foxes, long and thin legs and large ears.

It is an omnivorous animal, feeding on fruits, mainly wolf apples, as well as small vertebrates, such as rodents, lizards and birds.

It is present in other South American countries, but most of its population lives in Brazil.

The species is threatened by the degradation of its habitat and other human activities, such as hunting and roadkill.
