Pampas fox (graxaim-do-campo) I

These fotos were taken yesterday (April 19, 2018) afternoon.

Two graxains were hunting.

They were roaming over a recently harvest soybeans field.

There are two species of wild canids in RS.

This one here, if I am not mistaken, seems to be the "graxaim-do-campo", or Lycalopex gymnocercus.

Here he or she stopped to eat something.

The wild canid bordered a soybeans plot that was not harvested yet.

Information about this species can be found here.

These pretty animals are well-adapted to the seasonal cycles of

agriculture and livestock practices and since there are native and planted forests around,

they also have a lot of places to hide themselves.

This blog explains how to distinguish the two species of graxaim.
