They inhabit various environments, from deserts to forests, and prey on a variety of animals, including rabbits, rodents, lizards, and birds. Despite their few natural enemies, culpeos face threats from pumas and humans.

A random fact that I love is...
I love the fact that despite our resemblance to true foxes, culpeos are actually part of a different genus, Lycalopex, which is unique to South America. This is a result of convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environments or lifestyles.
