The maned wolf is the largest canid of South America and it looks like a cross between a fox, deer, and wolf. It's not a fox nor is it a wolf. Their legs remble that of a deer's, their heads resemble that of a wolf's, and their markings resemble that of a fox. They eat fruit and they live in the Cerado grasslands of Southern Brazil. It's the only species in the genus Chrysocyon meaning "Golden dog". It might not be considered a true wolf but it is probably a wolf. The maned wolf separated from the Falklands around 6.7 million years ago.
