The Warrah or Falklands Fox
(Canis antarcticus) was the only endemic Falklands mammal. This bold
and inquisitive animal was never very numerous but, with the
introduction of sheep, farmers backed by a Government bounty were
encouraged to hunt them. The last one was killed in 1876.
Our Newsletter is so named in the
hope that it will play a small part in preventing any other Falkland
wildlife following the same path to extinction.
