EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking studio photograph captures the enigmatic presence of the extinct Falkland Islands fox, scientifically known as Dusicyon australis. Once the sole native land mammal of the Falkland Islands, this canid species, also referred to as the Falkland Islands wolf or Warrah, vanished from the archipelago in 1876. The Falkland Islands fox was a medium-sized mammal, with a body length of around 80 cm (31 inches) and a weight of up to 12 kg (26 lbs). Its thick, bushy tail, black-tipped ears, and pointed snout were distinctive features of this elusive creature. The fox's coat was primarily brownish-gray, with a reddish tint on its legs and underbelly. The Falkland Islands fox was an adaptable carnivore, feeding on a variety of prey, including rodents, birds, and marine animals. They were also known to scavenge on the remains of seals and whales. This adaptability allowed them to thrive in the harsh, isolated environment of the Falkland Islands. Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist, documented the Falkland Islands fox during his visit to the islands in 1833. He described them as "extremely shy and timid," making them difficult to study and observe. Despite their elusiveness, the Falkland Islands fox left a lasting impression on those who encountered them. Today, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Falkland Islands fox and the unique ecosystem they once inhabited. As a placental mammal, belonging to the order Caniformia and the family Canidae, the Falkland Islands fox was part of the larger group of mammals known as Carnivora, which includes bears, raccoons, and hyenas. Its extinction marked the loss of the last native terrestrial mammal species from the Falkland Islands, leaving behind a rich and diverse avian fauna.
