🐺Crab-eating fox
Maikong (Cerdocyon thous), v portugalštině Cachorro-do-Mato (doslova přeloženo "křovinový pes") je jihoamerická psovitá šelma. Maikong je v současné době jediným zástupcem svého rodu, ale je známo, že jich v pleistocénu bylo více druhů, např. Cerdocyon avius, který pravděpodobně vypadal stejně jako současný Maikong.
