The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest canid of South America, resembling a big fox with reddish fur. It is called lobo-guará ("Guará Wolf") in Portuguese, aguara guazú ("Big Fox") in Guarani, and lobo de crin ("Maned Wolf") in Spanish. It was improperly called Canis jubatus ("Maned Dog") in some 19th century publications.
The distribution includes southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia east of the Andes. It is an endangered species, and its range once included Uruguay and northern Argentina, although IUCN lists it as "lower risk". It is the only species in the genus Chrysocyon.
