🐺Crab-eating fox
Le Renard crabier (Cerdocyon thous), également connu sous le nom de Renard des savanes, ou plus rarement sous le nom de Maikong, est une espèce de mammifère carnivore de la famille des canidés. Bien qu’il soit désigné sous le nom de « renard » de par son apparence particulière, due à un processus de convergence évolutive de par une écologie comparable, ce canidé originaire d’Amérique du Sud fait partie d’un genre bien plus proche de celui des loups et des chacals (canini) : Cerdocyon, dont il est le seul représentant actuel.
