Yes, I thought that too. I have some doubts about what it really was, but the guide said Andean fox, and he seemed knowledgeable.

I don't actually know what else it could be.

Looks like the same bloke

Kind of. But the pics of the Andean fox show a slimmer and longer snout compared to the critter I photographed. Mine does look chunkier, and as Jake said, powerful for a fox.

Got the hokey bokeh on the sea about 150m below. I see it occasionally - does anyone know what causes it with this lens? I think busyness is a factor from my own experience.

Of course I had to look it up, and indeed it is a beast!

" It is the second-largest native canid on the continent, after the maned wolf."

The culpeo is a canid intermediate in size between a red fox and a coyote.

Perhaps ironically, the "Maned Wolf" appears more "fox like" to my northern eyes.

Nice shots!

The bokeh comes from out-of-focus points of light being rendered as circles instead of disks. It is quite normal with many lenses today.

I've seen it with this lens and also with my 70-200 2.8II and like you with busy backgrounds, lots of grass and/or branches, maybe more when moving a bit in the wind?

Here I think it comes from small water-drops?
