Picture of the Month
November 2008
Darwin's Fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes) Chiloe Island, CHILE
Critically Endangered
These small foxes are found only on Chiloe Island and in a single isolated patch of mainland forest in southern Chile - and nowhere else in the world. There may be no more than a few hundred left in the wild for their temperate rainforest home is rapidly disappearing.
I spent five days looking for these small foxes and, in between almost constant downpours so typical of the region, I had little more than an hour in their company. It was an hour extraordinarily well-spent.
