An elusive dwarf Cozumel fox, part of a potentially undescribed species, was captured near a highway in Mexico and released into a state reserve. The Cozumel fox population, which is 20-40% smaller than mainland gray foxes, was rediscovered after not being officially sighted for over 20 years. Researchers are calling for focused conservation efforts for the Cozumel fox, as uncertainty about their population size, distribution, and ecology poses a significant challenge to effective conservation.
