Guest Videos: Amazonian Wild Canines


Just to get you in the mood, if you have an hour to spare (also, bush dogs fishing at 0.09!):



Yes, we’ve been introduced to the Amazon’s wild dogs.

However, this jargon-free page by the Amazonian Canids Working Group goes into a lot more detail on them.

So here are more detailed videos on the:

  • Short-eared dog:

    From 11 years ago.

  • Crab-eating fox:

    In the Pantanal, with a note that they usually come out at night but, like this one, sometimes during the early morning.

  • Bush dog (my personal favorite Amazonian wild dog because of its strange appearance):

    This 9-year-old video was recorded in a Japanese zoo, but it probably is impossible to get such clear and close views out in the wild. This really shows the dog-like qualities of an extremely pack-oriented Amazonian canine.

  • Hoary fox:

    Also in the Pantanal.

  • Pampas fox:
  • Sechuran fox:

    Some of these species live outside the Amazon Basin, too.
