De início, pensaram que o animal resgatado de um atropelamento no Rio Grande do Sul era um cachorro. Porém, conforme iam tentar alimentar o animal, ele não aceitava ração ou algo do tipo. Foi quando os veterinários tentaram dar pequenos ratinhos como forma de alimento e na mesma

Cientistas anunciaram a descoberta do primeiro híbrido de cachorro e 'raposa' da América do Sul há algumas semanas. Conversei com eles, que descobriram (meio de surpresa) que o bicho morreu há 6 meses... Conto o imbróglio na BBC News Brasil: bbc.com/portuguese/art…
