Hoary fox

The hoary fox is a small, insect-loving fox found only in Brazil. Unlike most foxes, it prefers munching on bugs over hunting bigger prey. Its sandy-gray coat helps it blend into the dry grasslands it calls home.

• It's one of the few fox species that eats mostly insects and small invertebrates.
• This fox lives only in Brazil, nowhere else in the world.
• Its nickname 'raposinha-do-campo' means 'little fox of the fields' in Portuguese.
