Culpeo Fun Fact: A fun fact about the culpeo, a fox-like canid native to South America, is that it plays an important ecological role by helping control rabbit and rodent populations. Interestingly, culpeos are also known to eat fruit, making them omnivorous, and they’ve even been observed hunting in pairs or small groups, which is unusual for canids. This adaptability has helped them thrive in a wide range of habitats, from deserts to mountains!
