The South American gray fox, also omnivorous, lives on eggs, fruit, lizards, rodents, seeds and even scorpions. The Viscacha, a relative of the chinchilla, also lives in parts of the desert.

Many parts of the Atacama Desert are too dry to sustain even insect life. In other areas, sand-colored grasshoppers blend with pebbles on the desert floor. Desert wasps sometimes prey on other insects. During especially warm, humid seasons, butterflies visit the lomas. Red scorpions also live in the desert, where their color helps conceal them from predators such as gray foxes.
