14. CANIS CANCRIVORUS Desmarest. 
CRAB-EATING DOG. 
Local name: Zorrn Perro, i. e. Dog Fox, to distinguish it from other widely different 
animals to whirJi the name Zorro, Fox, is applied. 
1820. Canis cancrivorus Desmarest, Mammalogie, p. 199. 
1898. Urocyon aquilus B.\ngs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XII, pp. 93-94.

In the hut of a native at San Julian there were two small fox cub.s 
that had been caught some time in June in a cane field as the cane was 
being cut. They were dusky colored like the cubs of our gray fox. 
One died about July 20, and the other had become very tame when 
he was killed for catching a newly hatched cliicken. On July 31 a 
half-grown cub was brought in by some boys whose dogs had caught 
and killed it. On August 3 the same boys brought in an adult male 
and on August 7 another half-grown cub. 
The cubs are very like our gray fox of the same age, but the like- 
ness disappears in the adult, which, although of al)out the same size, 
has a much less bushy tail, is more tawny about the flanks, and is not 
so grizzled. 
The adult measured: Length, 940; tail, 200; hind foot, 145; height 
tit shoulder, 400.
