Culpeo Facts!
The culpeo is a reddish-grey fox native to South America, where it lives in a wide variety of habitats, from rainforest to desert to plateau. Measuring 23.5 to 47 inches (60 to 119 centimeters) long, it is the second-largest native canid on that continent.
Although the culpeo is not listed as Threatened or Endangered, its population has decreased in some areas, mainly due to being hunted for its fur or to prevent it from eating domestic livestock.
This fox is not very picky, however, and will eat a range of available prey: rabbits, hares, birds, insects, eggs, birds, fruit and carrion.
South American foxes are featured in the following book:
