Fox is a common name for many species of omnivorous
mammals belonging to the
Canidae family. Foxes are small to medium-sized
canids (slightly smaller than the median-sized domestic
dog), characterized by possessing a long narrow
snout, and a bushy
tail (or brush).
Members of about 37
species are referred to as foxes, of which only 12 species actually belong to the
Vulpes genus of 'true foxes'. 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. The presence of fox-like
carnivores all over the globe has led to their appearance in both
popular culture and
folklore in many cultures around the world (see also
Foxes in culture). The
gray fox is one of only two canine species known to climb trees; the other is the
raccoon dog.
