Warrahs – Falkland Island foxes – seem to have got around (28 February, p 31). As well as the specimens reported at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, the Swedish Museum of Natural History, and Naturalis, the natural history museum in Leiden, the Netherlands, we too can claim one at the Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand.
It would appear that collecting was most likely a primary cause of the extinction of this species.
