Field Notes

Notes:

I spotted this Andean Fox while hiking slightly above the hiker's refuge on Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the highest altitude active volcanos in the world. The refuge is at 4800m above sea level.

Thanks! Yes he was the only creature I saw at that altitude...I think he was hanging around and hoping to snatch some food from the garbage bin at the hiker's refuge

great photos! this must have been a rare spotting. I didn't think there was much living at that altitude
