We had some difficulty identifying this fox seen on the far end airfield during the return leg of our longest penetration along the pipeline road in Kaa Iya National Park in the South-east of Bolivia. Our guide said it was "Yellow-legged Fox" which googling determined was local parlance for Pampas Fox but we were puzzled by the markings, which seemed spot-on for Culpeo! Further research and consultation with mammal-watchers via the internet determined it was indeed Pampas Fox.
