Abstract
A study about food habits of chilla (Lycalopex griseus) was done in a sector of the intermediate depression of southern Chile, called Predio Rucamanque, Region de la Araucania. Faeces were collected through three seasons of the year, identifying their diet composition. Results show a trend towards small mammals followed by birds, and in a lesser ratio, insects.
