Foxes are very interesting animals, about which you probably don’t know much. After all, a red fox is the only thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “fox”. In fact, this is a very diverse and adaptive genus of animals, all of whose representatives are perfectly adapted to live in the environment where they are found. And believe me, there are many foxes all over the world and not all of them are red!
1. Fennec
These foxes live in North Africa and the Sahara Desert. They are distinguished by their huge ears, which serve to dissipate heat from their body. Thanks to these ears, they have such good hearing that they can hear their prey moving under the sand. Their cream-colored fur helps them shed heat during the day and keep them warm at night.
2. Red fox
The red fox is the largest, most common, and therefore most diverse species of fox. They can be found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and even in Australia. They are very agile hunters and are known to be able to easily jump over a 2-meter fence.
3. Arctic marbled fox
The Arctic marbled fox is a subspecies of red foxes, and its color cannot be considered natural, since these animals were bred by humans for their luxurious fur.
4. Gray fox
The gray fox, which lives in North America, has a delightful “salt and pepper” coloring on its back and a tail with a black stripe. This fox is one of the few canids that can climb trees.
5. Silver fox
The silver fox is also a type of red fox, differing only in pigmentation. In addition, this fox is one of the most valuable species of fur-bearing foxes. They are still bred and raised for their magnificent fur.
6. Arctic fox or arctic fox
Foxes are very charming and cunning-eyed animals, so in this article we present to you seven of their most beautiful and striking species. Most likely, when you hear the word “fox,” the first thing that comes to mind is the most common species – the common red fox (Vulpes Vulpes), whose habitat covers almost the entire Northern Hemisphere. However, this diverse and highly adaptive fox genus has many species throughout the planet, each of which is highly adapted to living in its own natural environment.
