	Falkland Island Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Falkland Island Fox (Dusicyon australis, formerly named Canis antarcticus), also known as the Warrah and occasionally as the Falkland Island Wolf or Antarctic Wolf and by Argentine writers as the Malvinas Zorro, was the only native land mammal of the Falkland Islands.
		It has been speculated that the unusual distribution of this animal (the only canine native to an oceanic island) and some details of the skull suggest that it originally arrived with natives visiting the islands and was kept by them as a pet in a semi-domesticated state.
		DNA analysis of museum specimens have proved rather inconclusive as to the exact relationship of this animal, some even suggesting hybridization (during the domestication process) with a relative or progenitor of the coyote; it is not known whether this would have been possible.

		They are one of the most familiar Falkland Island birds and are very common around the islands in coastal areas, usually being seen in shallow water, either in bays and estuaries, but often also in the surging open ocean where there are large kelp beds.
		Falkland Island birds are much bigger (as much as 10 cm) than South American ones, and are considered a separate sub-species.

		This was faciliated by the animal's tameness, as is common in insular species due to the absence of predators - trappers would lure the animal with a chunk of meat held in one hand, and kill it with a knife or stick held in the other.
		DNA analysis of museum specimens have proved rather inclonclusive as to the exact relationship of this animal, some even suggesting hybridization (during the domestication process) with a relative or progenitor of the coyote; it is not known whether this would have been possible.
