I've seen gray foxes in Georgia. They're pretty.


In Maryland red foxes are getting to be quite common. Saw a dead one hit by car once years ago ( got knocked off the road and into a creek bed, beautiful perfectly preserved specimen suitable for mounting), then when I delivered papers at night for a few months I saw many live ones prowling around the suburbs at night.

Gray foxes are native to the woodlands of eastern north America. The red ones are descended from English red foxes imported from England by rich landowners in the colonial days so that our American gentry could indulge in fox hunting like the aristocrats in Britain do. The red invaders dominate in some parts of the eastern US, and the native gray foxes still dominate in others.

I think that he meant that "Fox Village" place in Japan, in that video.

So tiny :heart: I love fennecs. I'd like to have one but they're expensive and my travel life would be over. (The rest of my life too, since I'd have to live somewhere where they're legal and near an exotic vet.)

Very cute.

Foxes demonstrate how climate effects body design.

The arctic foxes have tiny ears. To conserve body heat.

The temperate zone foxes (the familiar red foxes, black, and gray) have mid sized ears.

And the tennecs that live in the deserts of tropical Africa have those large outsized ears that are well adapted to help disappait body heat.
