Talk:Maned wolf

"Wolf"

If it's not a wolf then why called it a maned "Wolf"? They could have just called it a "maned dog" instead. Usually calling a dog a wolf makes it a wolf.

True but since it represents a wolf, in its run ( Peferably called a lope ) dietry needs and body shape, the call it a wolf. A Irish wolfhound is called a "wolf dog" but is still very much dog! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunder808 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

An alternative English name is “Bog Fox” referring to its habitat which is often near marshes. Ptilinopus (talk) 11:12, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

The wolfhound is named because it's a hound that kills wolves. Like a deerhound can kill deer or a foxhound can kill foxes. Hell, a "bird dog" can retrieve ducks that you've shot into water. These names describe dog's "jobs" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:9D80:8AA:B077:3352:CE66:B4E6 (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Phylogenetic tree

Could someone add a root to the tree with the label "Cerdocyonina"? I've tried, and all I make is a mess. In fact, is there an article on the cerdocyonines? It's a monophyletic group encompassing all South American canids. Mariomassone (talk) 23:47, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

@William Harris:, don't suppose you could give it a try? Mariomassone (talk) 09:41, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I will certainly give it a go, M. William Harris • (talk) • 11:00, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Dog definition

The Maned Wolf is a dog, as are all species of the family, Canidae. The MW is not a domestic dog, but saying it is not a dog creates confusion and hence my sensible edit to exclude the word 'dog' from the sentence. It is clearer this way. In the same way a Lion is a cat, as are all of Felidae, but off course the wild species are not domestic cats.--Mrodowicz (talk) 14:06, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
