Urocyon cinereoargenteus
A relatively small canine approximately 1 meter long. It is recognized as the only canine in the American continent capable of climbing trees. In spite of being carnivores, this individual from the photos apparently likes bananas (second image). This particular one, I saw in a coffee plantation. most of the time, I have seen them in open areas in the vicinity of the forest.

Congratulations Jonathan, your inquisitive gray fox has been voted Spotting of the Week!
"An inquisitive Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) with an appetite for bananas has been voted Spotting of the Week! The only American canid that can climb trees, the gray fox shares this ability with the Asian raccoon dog. The gray fox is omnivorous and fruit can be an important part of its diet. The Project Noah rangers team found this spotting endearing with a nice personal touch, with interesting information about diet documented in the images".
