Two Fuegian dogs: Katekita (female) and Tapan (male)
The Fuegian dog, or Yahgan dog, or Patagonian dog (Spanish: perro fueguino, perro yagán, perro patagónico), is an extinct type of canid. In comparison to the domestic dog's ancient wolf ancestry, the Fuegian dog was traditionally thought to be bred and domesticated from the South American culpeo, also known as the culpeo fox (Lycalopex culpaeus).[1] However, 2023 research suggested that the traditional accounts of the Fuegian dog were in fact two different animals.[2] The culpeo itself is similar (in form and stature) to true foxes (tribe Vulpini), though it is closer, genetically, to wolves, coyotes and jackals (true canids, tribe Canini); thus it is placed in a separate genus within the South American foxes or zorros.
There are very few remaining museum specimens or examples of the Fuegian dog; one is at the Museo Salesiano Maggiorino Borgatello in Chile,[2] and another is at the Fagnano Regional Museum in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.[1]
