Everything about Pseudalopex totally explained

Pseudalopex is the genus name for some South American members of the Canidae family. It literally means 'false fox', from the Greek words Pseud- and alopex. The common name for the genus is zorro, from Spanish, and raposa, from Portuguese, both words standing for fox. The most numerous species of this genus is probably Pseudalopex griseus, the grey zorro, with large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt. This genus is more closely related to the dog-like canids than to the true foxes. The Zorros are hunted in Argentina for their durable, soft pelt. In Argentina they've the name of 'lamb-killer'. In reality, Zorros rarely kill lambs, although, if hunger strikes, that'll prey on weak or sick infants.
   Species currently included in this genus include:
» Culpeo, Pseudalopex culpaeus


   Darwin's Fox, Pseudalopex fulvipes » Grey zorro, Pseudalopex griseus


   Pampas Fox, Pseudalopex gymnocercus » Sechura Fox, Pseudalopex sechurae


   Hoary Fox, Pseudalopex vetulus The genus Lycalopex is still occasionally used for the Hoary Fox, but the species is recently more often included in Pseudalopex.
