Photo by joelsartore | This juvenile Andean fox will play a vital role throughout its life in helping many of the plants and animals within its home range to thrive. As a skilled predator, it will aid in population control by feeding on small mammals, reptiles, and insects. Andean foxes also eat fruit, making them important seed dispersers of peumo fruit and Peruvian peppers. This photo was taken ufas_unab.
