Fox

A fox is an animal belonging to any one of about 27 species (of which only 12 actually belong to the Vulpes genus, or ‘true foxes’) of small to medium-sized canids, characterized by possessing a long, narrow snout, and a bushy tail, or brush. By far the most common and widespread species of fox is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), although various species are found on almost every continent.
