État de la populationTexte officiel évaluation IUCNExpert

Dusicyon australis probably reached the Falkland Islands from the mainland 480 km away during the last glacial age (Slater et al. 2009). A close relative, D. avus, may have persisted in the Pampean and Patagonian regions of Argentina until after 1500 (Prevosti et al. 2015). The Falklands Wolf was discovered in 1690 and was still present when Charles Darwin visited the Falklands in 1833-1834. However, the population of West Falkland was already declining rapidly by then, and by 1865 it was no longer found on the eastern part of East Falkland. The last Falklands Wolf is believed to have been killed in 1876 at Shallow Bay, West Falkland Islands.

Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert

The species was hunted by Argentine settlers in early 1800s, and by US fur traders in the 1830s. Due to being tame and curious and unafraid of humans, it was particularly susceptible to culling. Scottish settlers and their sheep flocks arrived in the 1860s and considered D. australis a pest and a threat to their sheep, setting fire to brushwood and laying out poison baits.

A Falklands Wolf was taken to Britain and lived in the London Zoo in 1868. In 1870, the surviving member of a pair of animals sent by Mr Byng, the acting colonial secretary of the Falklands, arrived in London Zoo. It lived for a few years. However, no reproduction in captivity was reported.
