Population

A crafty and cunning species of wild dog native to South America, also known as Andean fox. With its striking reddish-brown coat, white underbelly, and long bushy tail, the Culpeo is a sight to behold. It is also a highly adaptable predator, able to thrive in a variety of habitats from the Andes Mountains to the Patagonian steppe.

Despite its relatively large size for a wild dog, the Culpeo is an elusive and secretive creature, making it a challenge to study and understand. However, researchers have discovered that these foxes are highly intelligent, with exceptional problem-solving skills and a unique ability to adapt to changing environments. From their distinctive vocalizations to their impressive hunting tactics, the Culpeo is a fascinating and dynamic member of the animal kingdom.
