[edit] forest fox! wood fox?
Article currently includes "also known as the .. the wood fox", but I checked webpages about crab-eating foxes and found no mention of "wood fox". So I went to the library and checked an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia said "other common names" of the crab-eating fox (in English) are "common fox, forest fox" (source: Bernhard Grzimek et al. (2003). Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia (second edition), Volume 14, page 282. Farmington Hills, MI (USA): Gale Group.) Anyone got a source for crab-eating fox also being known as wood foxes? --EarthFurst 06:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Response: I have an encyclopedia of the Animal Kingdom by the Danbury Press and they state that it also goes by the name of wood fox. 12:34, 17 February 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.107.100.18 (talk)
The Encyclopaedia of Mammals lists Common Zorro as another name for the Crab-eating Fox, and also lists the genus as Dusicyon (source: The Encyclopaedia of Mammals, vol 1, p74. ISBN 0-04-500028-X) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joegrumbly (talk • contribs) 11:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's an old taxonomy. Dusicyon now contains only one species, the Falkland Islands Wolf. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:02, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
