” Darwin’s Fox is one of the world’s littlest foxes. The fox gets its common name from naturalist Charles Darwin who first collected it in 1834. The animals in the Lycalopex genus aren’t considered true foxes the way the red fox, Vulpes vulpes is a true fox. Lycalopex foxes are more closely related to jackals and wolves.”
