Photograph byMelissa GrooDescription
Sleek and long-legged, this bright red fox vixen is able of jumping over 2 meters high. Red is the most common color, but several color phases (red, cross, silver and black) can occur in one litter. Black and silver foxes appear to be more common toward Alaska's north and northwest, yet even there they make up less than two percent. Voles seem to be the red fox's preferred food.
