About Hoary fox
The hoary fox, also called raposinha-do-campo or the hoary zorro[citation needed], is a species of zorro or "false" fox endemic to Brazil. Unlike many other foxes, it feeds primarily on small invertebrates such as insects.
The hoary fox is native to south-central Brazil, although there are some recorded sightings from the north of the country, and Pleistocene fossils are known from Argentina. Although they may be found in more marginal habitats, they usually live in the cerrado, between 90 and 1,100 metres (300 and 3,600 ft) elevation, where there are open woodlands, bushlands, and savannahs that are smooth or scattered with trees.
