The buss dug (Speothos venaticus) is a canid hamelt in Central an Sooth Americae.[1][2] In spite o its muckle scowth, it is very rare in maist airts but Suriname, Guyana an Peru;[2][3] it wis first identified bi Peter Wilhelm Lund as fossils in Brazilien caves an believed tae be extinct. The buss dug is the anely livin species in the genus Speothos,[1] an genetic evidence suggests that its closest livin relative is the maned wouf that bides central Sooth Americae.[4]
