The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is a large canine of South America. [5] ... It has 76 chromosomes, so cannot interbreed with other canids. [16]
The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.
Giemsa-stained (A) and C-banded (B) metaphase in Dogxim showing 76 chromosomes, arrows indicate the X chromosomes. Four species of wild canids are known in southern Brazil: the bush dog (Speothos venaticus), the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), the crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), and the Pampas fox (Lycalopex gymnocercus). It was thought ...
Argentine conservationists have returned a rare and unusual-looking animal, a maned wolf, to the wild around Buenos Aires, with its long black legs and red-fur making the creature look like a fox ...
The wolf-like canids are a group of large carnivores that are genetically closely related because they all possess 78 chromosomes, arranged in 39 pairs and are karyologically indistinguishable from each other. [1] [2]: p279 [3] The group includes the genera Canis, Cuon, Lupulella and Lycaon.
The bush dog is the only extant species in the genus Speothos, [1] and genetic evidence suggests that its closest living relative is the maned wolf of central South America [5] or the African wild dog. [6] The species is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN. [7] [8] [9] In Brazil, it is called cachorro-vinagre ('vinegar dog') and cachorro-do ...
A California gray wolf, dubbed OR 85, in 2023. The wolf was fitted with a satellite collar to help the California Department of Fish and Wildlife track the state's burgeoning wolf population.
True members of Canis, namely the gray wolf and coyote, likely only arrived in the New World during the Late Pleistocene, where their dietary flexibility and/or ability to hybridize with other canids allowed them to survive the Quaternary extinction event, unlike the dire wolf. [14] Xenocyon (strange wolf) is an extinct subgenus of Canis. [15]
