Corsac Fox (Scroll down ↓ to see more in this serie:)
The Corsac Fox (Vulpes corsac), also known as the Steppe Fox, is a medium sized Asiatic fox species spread throughout the central steppes of Asia. It is sometimes referred to as the Tibetan Fox (because it lives in the arid environments north and west of the Tibetan Plateau), or simply as the Sand Fox, but this terminology is confusing because the Tibetan Sand Fox (Vulpes ferrilata), which lives in the high parts of the Tibetan Plateau, is often called the "Sand Fox" or "Tibetan Fox" as well. Rüppell's Fox (Vulpes rueppellii) is also known as the "Sand Fox".
It is very social and lives in "corsac cities" where animals have several dens with connected holes. It prefers some steppe and semi-desert in mountainous areas. It is mainly grey-reddish with silver celadon areas on their coat. The Corsac Fox is threatened by hunting for the fur trade.
