maned wolf?
Congratulations Yorkie <applause>
50% of the diet of this animal is made up of sugarcane, tubers and fruit - especially the wolf apple, which is the fruit of Solanum lycocarpum (closely related to the tomato). It lives mostly in Brazil - looks like a cross between a wolf and a fox on stilts, with large floppy ears like an African wild dog - standing on stilts helps it navigate through the pampas grass. Despite its appearance it is not related to either a fox or a wolf but forms its own genus within the canid family. The clue about ants refers to them deficating on the nests of leafcutter ants, who then use the dung on their fungus gardens but discard the seeds first which then germinate extra quickly around their nests - thus ensuring a constant supply of the wolf apple. The Maned Wolf helps even further by eating anteaters ! Over to you.

It ....was in Canada , in 1956, that Watson-Watt got a glimpse of a less popular application for the technology he helped develop - when he was pulled over for speeding by a policeman using a radar gun.
According to Mr Herriot: "He said, 'My God, if I'd known what they were going to do with it, I'd have never have invented it!'"
