Description
I came to the foxes' spore. The stamp marks around the spore as well as the streight line the fox was moving in indicate that it is a dog fox marking his territory. A whif of the urine had my heart beeting fast. It was a GREY FOX! Very rare since their distant cousines the Red Fox from Europe have been pushing them into the coldest places where only they can survive. A Grey Fox can eat almost anything organic while the only vegetable matter that a red fox can stomach is berries. Since Red Fox controll smaller territories they mate much more then the Grey Fox. If your wondering how in the hell I know it's a Grey and why I would know that from sniffing it's pee I'll tell you. In order to controle a large territory Grey Fox have a strong musk. This urine smelled like the musk of a Skunk. By comparison the spore of a Red Fox has almost no smell. I have seen some Red Fox where I live but never a Grey. They are far more elusive and spred widly even where they thrive. On with the chase!Next [link]

We have more grey foxes around here, I believe. It amazes me still that they are such great tree climbers.

Yeah. Aside form cold places they also do well in dense fens and dense vegetiation. The ones down there are smaller though. The Red Foxes we have are larger than the ones I see in warmer places. It's a mater of being of the same speceis but having regional variation. There are 20 different speceis of fox world wide!
I've only seen Red and Arctic Fox in captivity.
