The Fox
The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) can be found throughout most of the United States, Central America, and northern South America. It measures about three feet long, including its tail and is smaller than the red fox. It has a salt-and-pepper coat.
Unlike other wild canids, foxes tend to live and hunt alone. They are omnivores, and will eat small rodents, insects, fruit, acorns, birds, and eggs.
