Original - Lycalopex culpaeus is a South American canid

Reason: Clear, detailed, high-quality illustration of the whole body of the culpeo. Also good for showing why it is sometimes hunted for its pelt. There are additional articles it could be in, but they are currently occupied by another FP, a close-up of the culpeo's muzzle: File:Pseudalopex culpaeus.jpg.
Articles in which this image appears: Culpeo, Salar de Uyuni

Comment: Since it is neither a fox nor any kind of wolf/dog, I don't we should call it a "wild dog in the summary." 75.41.110.200 (talk) 23:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I copied what the article said. I've changed it to canid. Maedin\^talk 08:34, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support a good picture of that animal. Image quality is quite good, although the background is slightly busy, but I suppose it illustrates the kind of terrain that culpeos are usually found on. Also, pixel-peeping reveals that there is some purple fringing along the outlines of the shadow. Not sure if that is a big enough problem to warrant retouching (probably not).

Support Could do with a smoother bg though --Muhammad(talk) 18:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Well done for finding and nominating this - I'd seen this a while ago, but never got around to throwing it on the pile. I actually like the background here, it does help to place it in the Andes, and to get an idea of the environment. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 23:52, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I've got nothing against canines.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:05, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
