Summary:The crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous has a diverse diet ranging from plants to vertebrates, but its diet has never been comprehensively reviewed. Here, we provide the first such review and report the first-ever record of C. thous feeding on the Brazilian lancehead Bothrops moojeni, although other Bothrops species have been documented in the diet of this fox species. Keywords: Interspecific interactions, mammals, natural history, reptiles. El zorro cangrejero Cerdocyon thous tiene una dieta diversa que va desde plantas hasta vertebrados, pero su dieta nunca ha sido revisada exhaustivamente.

Palabras clave: historia natural, interacciones interespecíficas, mamíferos, reptiles.
