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

Spanish, and

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.
