Description:

The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America, resembling a big fox with reddish fur. It is called lobo-guar�"Guar�olf") in Portuguese, aguara guaz�ig Fox") in Guarani, and lobo de crin ("Maned Wolf") in Spanish. It was improperly called Canis jubatus ("Maned Dog") in some 19th century publications.

The distribution includes southern Brazil, Paraguay, northern Argentina, and Bolivia east of the Andes]. It is an endangered species, and its range once included Uruguay, although IUCN lists it as "lower risk". It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon.
The Maned Wolf has often been described as "a Red Fox on stilts" due to its similar coloration and overall appearance, though it is much larger than a Red Fox and belongs to a different genus. The adult animal stands almost 1 m (3 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weighs 20 to 25 kg. (50 to 55 lb). Its fur is reddish brown to golden orange on the sides, with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat. The mane is erectile, and is typically used to enlarge the wolf's profile when threatened or when displaying aggression. (info from Wikipedia)
