TL;DR Summary

Researchers in Brazil have discovered the first-known dog-fox hybrid, dubbed a Dogxim, in the Cerrado region. The hybrid is a cross between a South American pampas fox and a dog, exhibiting a mix of dog-like and fox-like characteristics. The animal's odd eating behaviors and appearance have perplexed researchers, as it barks like a dog, has fur like a dog, but features pointed ears and a long snout like a fox. It refuses to eat dog food and only consumes small rats. The discovery suggests that despite diverging millions of years ago, these species can still produce viable hybrids.
