Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
Foxes are lovely, calm, quiet creatures that always run as soon as they see humans, so this must show that they are definitely more frightened of us than we are of them. During a hunt the poor foxes are chased out of their homes even when they are only cubs and sometimes their parents and family are killed. This must be a horrible experience for them. Animals have their own rights and feelings as well as humans. We do not kill humans if they kill or eat a farmer's chicken or lambs so why should it be different for foxes.

The classification of a Fennec fox, as said by the Exploring Nature Educational Resource, falls into the kingdom Animalia. It is a eukaryote because it is multicellular. The phylum and class are both Mammalia because these foxes are not cold blooded, have fur, and reproduce their young internally. Its order falls under Carnivora because it eats other animals. Its family is Canine so it goes under Canidae. The genus and species are just the binomial nomenclature or the name of the organism. Their genus is Vulpes and their species is Vulpes Zerda. There is a lot to know about animal classification and its history.
One huge impact of global warming is the change in animals’ habitats. When the earth’s temperature is increasing, it creates the change of weather conditions in a certain area, which causes some kinds of animals in this area to live with many difficulties, or sometimes those kinds of animals are forced to move to new region when they cannot handle the difficulties. The arctic fox is an example for this situation. According to the article “How Does Global Warming Affect Wildlife,” arctic foxes prefer to live in the cooler environment while their habitat is getting warmer and warmer due to global warming, so arctic foxes have to leave their own home to seek a more suitable area (National W...

The Fennec Fox, also known as the Dessert Fox, is the smallest species of fox in the world. Linnaeus, who is known as the father of Taxonomy, classified all foxes under the Genus Vulpes- Fennec Foxes are more specifically classified within the species as Vulpes zerda. As previously stated Fennec Foxes are the smallest known species of foxes- to give one a mental image, they are smaller than the typical house cat. Vulpes zerda’s head and body are roughly eleven inches long, with a tail around seventeen inches long. On average the female fox, a vixen, weighs .8kg. The male fox, a dog, is considerably plumper weighing an average 1.8kg. Unlike many animals within the animal kingdom, Fennec Foxes are usually monogamous. The Encyclopedia of Life explains further that “the pair lives with their offspring in a family unit of up to ten individuals” ("Vulpes zerda: Fennec,").
The silver fox is a branch of Vulpes Vulpes and is the domesticated version of the more commonly known red fox. The full taxonomy is Anamalia Chordata Mammalia Carnivora Canidae Vulpes Vulpes. Vulpes Vulpes originated from the Canids, which all canines such as wolves, dogs, and coyotes diverted from (Baldwin 3). After the split from Canids the foxes split into six different genera; they are the Grey Fox (Urocyon), the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon), the Pampas and Sechura Fox (Pseudalopex), the Hoary Fox (Lycalopex), the Crab-Eating Fox (Cerdocyon), and the True Fox (Vulpes). In all there are twenty-three species, twelve of those being Vulpes species (Baldwin 1). Red foxes are the most widespread of all wild Canids covering seventy million square kilometers around the world. Vulpes Vulpes is found in the Northern Hemisphere and the silver fox in particular is found in Russia and other regions with cold weather. The silver fox is a discolored red fox that accounts for approximately ten percent of all the fox colorations (Nat Geo 2).
