North American maned wolf (SciiFii)

The North American maned wolf (Chrysocyon neobrachyurus) is a species of canine that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, marshlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The markings of the North American maned wolf resemble those of foxes, but it is neither a fox nor a wolf. The North American maned wolf is part of the genus Chrysocyon (meaning "golden dog"), much like the South American maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus). The North American maned wolf is a rather large canine, weighing 20–30 kg (44–66 lb) and up to 90 centimeters (35 inches) at the shoulders. Its long, thin legs and dense reddish coat give it an unmistakable appearance. The North American maned wolf is a crepuscular and omnivorous animal adapted to the open environments of the North American grasslands, with an important role in the seed dispersal of both native and nonnative fruits. The North American maned wolf is a solitary animal. It communicates primarily by scent marking, but also gives a loud call known as "roar-barking". The conservation status of the North American maned wolf is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American maned wolf's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
