Alaskan Red Fox

Image
The red fox has the appearance of a small dog and weighs from 10 to   15 pounds and measures up to 2 feet long with another foot for a bushy tail. The end of the tail is black, tipped with white. The Red Fox is most commonly a rusty red, with white underbelly, black ear tips and legs, and a bushy tail usually with a distinctive white tip. The "red" tone can vary from dark chestnut to golden. Because the gray fox  frequently has quite a lot of red hair, it may be confused with the red fox. The red fox is   essentially a nocturnal animal, but it occasionally feeds during the day, and more at dawn and dusk.  read more
