Field Notes

Description:

subspecies of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), which inhabits North America. The American Red Fox differs from European forms by the greater breadth of its feet, its longer fur, noticeably shorter nose and ears, and its finer brush. According to hunters' accounts, they have lesser vigor and endurance in the chase compared to the European variant.[2] At one time, the American red fox was considered to be its own distinct species, Vulpes fulvus.

Thank you for the comments. I believe the species to be native to North America, but conflicting reports point towards the species as a sub species introduced in the US , several years ago from The UK.

Wonderful photos, Michael. Is it a native species in Nth America?
