Lycalopex culpaeus
The Andean fox, or culpeo, is a predatory mammal from the Canidae family. It lives in the mountains of South America and hunts small animals.
The Andean fox is larger than the common fox and is well adapted to life in the mountains. It regulates the number of rodents and helps maintain balance in the nature of South America.
