Deskripsi
The crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous has a diverse diet ranging from plants to vertebrates, but its diet has never been comprehensively reviewed. Here, we provide the first such review and report the first-ever record of C. thous feeding on the Brazilian lancehead Bothrops moojeni, although other Bothrops species have been documented in the diet of this fox species.
