Did you know?

The animal above that looks like a fox is actually called a Maned Wolf! Funny enough, it isn’t closely related to neither a fox nor a wolf but is actually a part (and only creature) of its own genus, Chrysocyon. It is a big canid that can go as tall as 3 feet (90 cm) and live between 6.5 to 15 years. Native to South America (roaming mostly in the Cerrado in Brazil), this solitary animal prefers savannas, forests, grasslands and marshes, where it feeds of small animals, fruits and vegetables (omnivorous). They are endangered animals and represented in Brazil’s R$200 (200 Reais) bill.

They are bizarrely beautiful creatures!
