Fox on Stilts? - Neatorama

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 Guazú 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.

The Western Planes Zoo in Australia has a few of these. The enclusure sure did smell as Sir P-S' link described. It was very strong.

So disapointed..
I'm expecting now the biggest STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. Anybody can slap a couple of slices on a wall, but building a real house with gingerbread is left to be seen. That woudl be a structural challenge...

I sure would like a piece of that house... but it probably is all moldy and rotten now since it's 2009 and almost 2010.

Whats wrong with you guys. Yeah it would be awesome to see a STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. But this is just as hard to build. Your disappointed, your one of those critics that don't know anything, a writer, not an acual builder. I'l like to see you do this. You won't even last a second, won't even know what to make the door out of. So keep your comments to yourself....psh disappointed, I should smack you across the face for saying that.
