RE: Red or Grey?
Looks red to me. As a matter of fact I had one of those little critters go past me at about 50yds on saturday while I was turkey hunting. If anyone remembers my post about a month back about coming upon a murder scene in the woods where I found a turkey that was killed by something. Well my best guess says that this red fox I saw on saturday had something to do with that.

RE: Red or Grey?
A grey fox is just a color phase of a red fox, just as a cinnamon is a color phase of a black bear; so yes, it is a red fox. http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/wildlife/living/living_with_foxes.htm I think you are confusing the term "Grey" with a Silver Fox which IS a color phase of a Red Fox. I have a lot of experience hunting trapping and handling foxes, trust me that picture is a Red fox. When you learn the difference in builds and colorations they really don't look very similar at all. Sort of like standing a Mule deer next to a Whitetail.........to someone who doesn't know deer they are both simply DEER. Just based on the body attitude, stance and leg length I can tell it's a Red fox even if you turned the picture black and white and cut off it's head. |

RE: Red or Grey?
Well I'll be dipped. I stand corrected. We have silvers, crosses (that I often hear referred to as greys) and reds up here which are all red foxes: Vulpes vulpes but you are correct the grey fox or tree fox is Urocyon cinereoargenteus. I can go home and have a beer now, I learned my something new for the day.
http://www.greyfoxwebworks.com/greyfox.html Thanks Matt! After looking at all that I still think it's a red.
