Despite its name, the maned wolf is not a wolf at all, nor is it a fox, coyote, or dog. It is the only member of theChrysocyon genus, making it a truly unique animal, not closely related to any other living canid. One hypothesis for this is that the maned wolf is the last surviving species of the Pleistocene Extinction, which wiped out all other large canids from the continent.
love simply having to see a picture of an animal and instantly being able to know what it’s called. i am filled with useless knowledge.
This is an odd animal.
