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

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)
Joaquin Kit Fox. The Kit fox is roughly about the size of a common housecat, with features ranging from big ears and a long bushy tail and toes that are very furry, that help keep the Kit Fox cool in the dry environment that they place themselves into. From a distance these Foxes are hard to spot due to their particular size ranging as high as twelve inches in height and reaching as far as twenty inches in length.

of the body’s length.) There are literally hundreds of species and strains of fox breeds, yet they are all of the Dog family in the animal kingdom. However, some breeds of fox are definitely more related to other animals than dogs.(The “raccoon fox “ is a prime example.) Foxes as a whole are most closely related to the wolf and coyote.Wolves and coyotes have opposite behaviors to foxes. In contrary to the solitary fox, both animals are part of a larger group of “clan mates”, led by a chief male and

The poems "telling our stories" and "the coming of fox" reveal the feelings of fear an artist may have when creating a work. In "telling our stories" Clifton compares a fox to a poet: the fox came every evening to my door asking for nothing. my fear trapped me inside, hoping to dismiss her but she sat till morning, waiting. at dawn we would, each of us, rise from
Let me tell you something. In 1970, Gray Wolves used to have a population of 250,000. But now due to mass wolf hunting, the numbers are down to 500. Hello everyone. Today, I’d like to speak on behalf of the Wolf Conservation Center about the importance of wolves, and why they should be protected. Wolves are too often a misunderstood creature, instead of showing fascination, we always fear them, which is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. The society of wolves is just like ours, sorted

particular that I have researched is the red fox or Vulpes vulpes as it is known in the scientific community. The animal is native to North America, Asia and Europe where they thrive in habitats ranging from temperate deserts to boreal forests, but its range spans the entire globe (Tesky 1995). The red fox is omnivorous which means that it feeds on animals and plants equally, which, creates impacts on both types of populations within its habitat. What makes the red fox invasive is its introduction to Australia
The Arctic Fox, Alopex lagopus, is considered to be one of the first mammals to have colonized Sweden and Finland after the last Ice Age. Due to their thick fur, large fat reserves, specialized circulatory systems that help them retain heat, and their ability to lower their metabolic rate to endure periods of starvation make them the perfect candidate to live in the two coldest habitats in the world—the Arctic tundra and the frozen sea. These habitats are found in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a common meso-carnivore native to North America, Europe, Asia, and some parts of northern Africa. Being adaptable and plastic while having a generalist diet and habitat selection, the red fox is perfectly capable of surviving and reproducing in almost any environment. For the same reasons that it is widespread and pertinent in its native range, it can be extremely invasive and disruptive in areas that it is introduced to. It is especially invasive in the Oceania region
