What is a chryocyon brachyurus?

The Chryocyon brachyurus, commonly known as the maned wolf, is a unique canid native to South America, particularly found in the grasslands and savannas of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is characterized by its long legs, reddish-brown fur, and a distinctive mane along its back that can be raised when threatened. Unlike other wolves, the maned wolf primarily feeds on fruits, such as the lobeira, and small animals, making it an omnivorous species. Its vocalizations are also distinct, with a unique "bark" that is often described as a mix between a wolf's howl and a fox's call.
