The maned wolf resembles the fox, but he is not a fox or a wolf.

It is the only species of the genus Chrysocyon, which means "Golden Dog".

Unlike most large canid species (such as the gray wolf), the maned wolf is a solitary animal and does not form packs. It hunts alone.

Maned wolves are omnivorous eaters.
