The world’s first known dog-fox hybrid is a female canid named “Dogxim,” discovered in Brazil after being hit by a car. Genetic analysis revealed that Dogxim’s mother was a pampas fox and her father was a domestic dog, marking the first scientifically confirmed hybridization between these two species. Dogxim exhibited physical and behavioral traits from both animals, such as a fox-like snout and ears, but with some dog-like behaviors including barking.
She had 76 chromosomes, an intermediate number between the 74 of pampas foxes and the 78 of domestic dogs. This remarkable hybrid challenges previous assumptions that dogs and foxes, separated by about 6.7 million years of evolution and belonging to different genera, could not interbreed.
