Cool Animal of the Day: The Maned Wolf

Man, that’s a tall, long-legged wolf, ain’t it? Except the Maned Wolf is not a wolf. It looks like a fox but it’s not a fox either. It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon, and I don’t know what that means either so don’t ask. It lives in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. It leaves a very distinctive and nasty odor when it leaves its markings, which has earned it the nickname Skunk Wolf which is unfortunate. It also is a chicken thief, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody. Anywho, check out the Maned Wolf, man. He’s tall.
