Summary

One of the world's most elusive canids is the Bush Dog. Native to South America, these ancestors to our favorite dogs have carved out a special niche to survive. Not much is known about Bush Dogs because they are so secretive. In fact, scientists first discovered fossils and thought they were an extinct species because no live specimens had been discovered yet. However, today we know Bush Dogs do exist across a massive range from the northern most point of Argentina all the way up into Central America. Sadly, Bush Dogs like many other species are threatened with extinction. With as few as 10,000 left, they need protection and our understanding. Thank you to all our Patreon supporters. We now are hosting monthly Zoom meetings with them, answering questions and getting ideas on which species they want covered. You too can join for one cup of "good" coffee a month.
