Fox on Stilts?



No, it's not a fox at all, but a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), the largest canid in South America. The maned wolf is actually neither a wolf nor a fox, but is a canid with its own genus. With those long legs, this dog can grow to be three feet tall! See more pictures at The Featured Creature. Link -via TYWKIWDBI

It is called Aguara GuazĂș in South America, which means "fox of the water or marshes", because that's where it lives. It has long legs to be able to roam the marshes, and has a very bad smell.
