Category:South American foxes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Articles relating to the South American foxes (Lycalopex), commonly called raposa in Portuguese, or zorro in Spanish. They are a genus from South America of the subfamily Caninae. Despite their name, they are not true foxes, but are a unique canid genus related to wolves and jackals; some of them somewhat resemble foxes due to convergent evolution. The South American gray fox, Lycalopex griseus, is the most common species, and is known for its large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt.
