by The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is a large canine of South America.
It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Paraguay, and is almost extinct in Uruguay.
Its markings resemble those of foxes, but it is neither a fox nor a wolf.
It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon (meaning "golden dog").
Although the maned wolf displays many fox-like characteristics, it is not closely related to foxes.
It lacks the elliptical pupils found distinctively in foxes.
The maned wolf's evolutionary relationship to the other members of the canid family makes it a unique animal.
