We recently had the good fortune to observe a family of four Andean "foxes" -aka atoq- (Lycalopex culpaeus) playing near our camp while we were having breakfast in the upper Llanganuco Valley (Cordillera Blanca, Peru). Despite looking very much like actual foxes they are more closely related to all other dogs. In fact, there are no foxes at all in South America.

More fox photos, this time one of nextdoor's cats decided to get in on the photo op.

We had a visitor in the back garden earlier:

Not a great photo, taken from an upstairs window, since if I'd tried to go outside it would have disappeared.
