In one of the two shelters on the slopes of Cotopaxi, the mountain where I photographed the canine, there was a poster with the scientific name and local name: Pseudalopex culpaeus, commonly called lobe (wolf) de páramo (and the semi-desert region of the Andes between 4000 and 5000 m) or Andean lobe.
It has a maximum length of 170 cm, including tail, and can weigh from 6 to 13 kg.
A greeting
Alexander In uno dei due rifugi alle pendici del Cotopaxi, la montagna dove ho fotografato il canide, era presente un poster con il nome scientifico ed il nome locale: Pseudalopex culpaeus, comunemente chiamato lobo (lupo) de páramo (e' la regione semidesertica delle Ande compresa tra i 4000 ed i 5000 m.) o lobo andino.
Ha una lunghezza massima di 170 cm, coda inclusa, e può pesare da 6 a 13 kg.
Un saluto
Alessandro

In fact it has many names.
In Ecuador and northern Peru they call it Lobo Andino or Lobo de Páramo (lobo = wolf) and is identified as Pseudalopex culpaeus reissii.
Descending south, Zorro Andino, Zorro Colorado and Zorro Culpeo (zorro = fox).
The scientific name, Pseudalopex, literally means a fake fox.
The color is similar to that of our foxes, but the size of the larger specimens is close to that of a coyote.
On the correct classification there is then unanimity in the scientific community.

A greeting,
Alexander In effetti ha molti nomi.
In Ecuador e nel nord del Peru' lo chiamano Lobo Andino o Lobo de Páramo (lobo=lupo) ed e' identificato come Pseudalopex culpaeus reissii.
Scendendo verso sud, Zorro Andino, Zorro Colorado e Zorro Culpeo (zorro=volpe).
Il nome scientifico, Pseudalopex, significa letteralmente falsa volpe.
Il colore e' simile a quello delle nostre volpi, ma la dimensione degli esemplari maggiori e' prossima a quella di un coyote.
Sulla corretta classificazione non vi e' poi unanimità nella comunità scientifica.
