Darwin's fox or Darwin's zorro (Lycalopex fulvipes) is an endangered canid from the genus Lycalopex. It is also known as the zorro chilote or zorro de Darwin in Spanish and lives on Nahuelbuta National Park (Araucanía Region), the Valdivian Coastal Range (Los Ríos Region) in mainland Chile and Chiloé Island. This small, dark canine weighs 1.8 to 3.95 kg (4.0 to 8.7 lb), has a head-and-body length of 48 to 59 cm (19 to 23 in) and a tail that is 17.5 to 25.5 cm (7 to 10 in).

Darwin's fox was first collected from San Pedro Island off the coast of Chile by the naturalist Charles Darwin in 1834. It was long held that Darwin's fox was a subspecies of the South American gray fox (L. griseus); however, the discovery of a small population of Darwin's fox on the mainland in Nahuelbuta National Park in 1990 and subsequent genetic analysis has clarified the fox's status as a unique species. In 2012 and 2013 the presence of the Darwin's fox at Oncol Park, Alerce Costero National Park and the Valdivian Coastal Reserve was confirmed through camera trapping.

About Vulov Eggs

Vulov eggs are fuzzy and warm. They vibrate slightly when held.

About the Vulov Creature

A Vulov's ears are incredibly sensitive, sensitive enough to be able to pick up the heartbeat of anyone standing within a 10ft radius. This means that they tend to be a rather solitary species with only bonded pairs remaining together. Vulovs will almost always avoid other species entirely. Rarely a Vulov will be seen in the company of another creature. Fokelore says that these cases are because the sound of the other creature's heart is a soothing melody to the Vulov.
