Category:Cerdocyonina: Difference between revisions

Here is a list of articles in the Cerdocyonina category of the Biology portal. Articles relating to the Cerdocyonina, an extant subtribe of the canines which is exclusively endemic to the Americas. Often described to be "fox-like" in appearance and behavior, they are more closely related to the wolf-like canids such as Canis than they are to the fox genus Vulpes. Its members are colloquially known as the South American canids. They are sometimes referred to as South American foxes in the older literature, but the term zorro has been recommended by mammalogists to avoid confusion with the true foxes of the tribe Vulpini (i.e., Vulpes).
