What is zorro andino?

Zorro Andino, also known as the Andean fox, is a small fox species that is found in the high Andean regions of South America, including Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.

These foxes have a distinctive appearance, with short and dense fur that is typically grayish-brown in color, with a white underside. They have large ears and a long tail, which helps them to balance when running on uneven terrain.

Zorro Andino typically live in high-altitude environments, such as alpine tundra and puna grasslands. They are solitary animals that are mainly active at night, and they mainly feed on small rodents, birds, and insects.

Unfortunately, these animals are under threat due to habitat loss and hunting. They are listed as "near threatened" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which means that they are at risk of becoming endangered if conservation efforts are not put in place.
