The Culpeo Fox

Sometimes known as the "Zorro Culpeo" or "Andean fox" (wolf), is a South American species of wild dog. It is the second largest native canid on the continent, after the maned wolf. In its appearance it bears many similarities to the widely recognized red fox. It has grey and reddish fur, a white chin, reddish legs, and a stripe on its back that may be barely visible.
The culpeo's diet consists largely of rodents, rabbits, birds and lizards, and to a lesser extent, plant material and carrion. The culpeo does attack sheep on occasion, and is therefore often hunted or poisoned. In some regions it has become rare, but overall the species is not threatened with extinction.
The culpeo was domesticated to form the Fuegian dog, but this became extinct some time between 1880 and 1919.
This is a fairly large canid, intermediate in size between a red fox and a coyote. The mean weight of the much larger male is 11.4 kg (25 lb), while females average 8.4 kg (19 lb). Overall, a weight range of 5 to 13.5 kg (11 to 30 lb) has been reported. Total length can range from 90 to 165 cm (35 to 65 in), including a tail of 30 to 51 cm (12 to 20 in) in length. The pelage has a fairly attractive, grizzled appearance. The neck and shoulders are often tawny to rufous in color with the upper back is dark. The bushy tail has a black tip.

A country I'd like to visit

I'd like to visit India, in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. I'd like to visit it because I am very interested in the indian culture. They have a lot of religions, there are monotheists, polytheisms, etc. I'd like to learn about it, about the philosophy of live called budaism. They have a lot of idioms too, they speak; Hindi, English, Cachemir, Bengalí and a lot more. They respect a lot the animals, the cow in Hindu society is traditionally identified as a caretaker and a maternal figure, and Hindu society honours the cow as a symbol of unselfish giving. Cow-slaughter is legally banned in almost all states of India. I want to see the beautiful landscapes of India, the fauna and flora is very diverse , and they live in armony with the animals and vegetation. I want to see the elephants and camels living between the people, the tigers really near. I want to meet a lot of persons and learn about they, "A place is only as good as the people you know in it"

Why I wanted to be a vet

I want to be a vet because I want to help animals, and bring they money it's not the way I like to help, I really want to save them and know what happen to them when they are sick, I felt so sad and helpless when I can't do anything for them. I don't want to study other thing that doesn't was veterinary, but I think in other options because people say me that money was the most important thing, I think in any engineer because I like maths but all the engineers look so boring to me, I think to be a professor too, for help to change something.

I was accepted in Universidad de Chile, I'm really happy with the career and the university, I like a lot the atmosphere in here, but I have more expectatives about the deal with the animals, I think that everybody here have respect for they, but now I see that the university used the animals like things. 

When I finish my career I want to work in small animals clinic in a Pet Hospital or with exotic animals in the wild or something like that, I liked to work with cows or horses too, but I don't see a place where the vet take care of them, they only want to get fat them or make it more fast.

If I had money I want to make a shelter for abandoned dogs, to save them. They deserve a second option to be happy with a family that love them c:
