Red fox

The red fox is the largest true fox and has one of the largest geographical distributions among members of the order Carnivorous. It is listed as being least affected by IUCN. Its range has intensified with the human expansion being introduced to Australia where it is harmful to Native Mammal and Bird Populations. From lower-sized ancestors from Eurasia in the Middle Villafranchian period, it was introduced to North America after Wisconsin’s glaciation. Despite its name, this species frequently has individuals of other colorings including leucistic and melanistic individuals. Today forty-five genus species are listed as being classified into two main classifications.

canines — wolves, dogs, coyotes, foxes — are among the most diverse and abundant groups of mammals, with species living in all foxes.

Foxes, or Canids, are an order of terrestrial carnivorous mammals. Foxes are distinguished from other canines, such as dogs, by a stocky build and a long tail, which is partially furred.
Foxes have small, vestigial external ears, and a single, naked, membranous (not furred) earflap.
Foxes have five digits on each paw, with the outer two digits being modified into strong, talon-like (opposable) claws. They have long, bushy tails that are used for balance.

The tail is used both for balance during running and for balance when standing or climbing. The tail is also a highly successful visual display, particularly when transformed into a bushy tail in a fur or tawny coat.
