I hear you in there, little mousie. Won't you come out and play? You know I won't hurt you...

Gray Fox Kits

Wolf Park

Gypsum (male), Hunter (female) and Iffa (female) at 96 days old. Iffa has left us, but Gypsum and Hunter will hopefully be with us for another decade or more.

Driving the back roads near Lanesboro, MN and found this beautiful animal!

I post many photos of Louie, the gray fox. He's one of my favorites. Here's a fun fact, to keep it interesting: gray foxes can climb trees. Not many canines can!

After several false starts we managed to return to ASDM on Earth Day.

I sat and read at the picnic tables near The Grotto while my son got a few last minute photos of the Virgin River. I was lucky to observe this fox for quite a few minutes. When a car would pull in, he would go up into the woods. When it was quiet, he would be back out exploring.

I think this is Urocyon cinereoargenteus (Gray Fox)

We drove from Las Vegas to Zion today. We got to Zion in the late afternoon and did a couple of short hikes.

The South American grey fox (Lycalopex griseus), also known as the Patagonian fox, the chilla or the gray zorro, is a species of Lycalopex, the "false" foxes. It is endemic to the southern part of South America.

The South American grey fox is found in the Southern Cone of South America, particularly in Argentina and Chile. Its range comprises a stripe, both sides of the Andes Mountain Range between parallels 17ºS (northernmost Chile) and 54ºS (Tierra del Fuego).

In Argentina, this species inhabits the western semiarid region of the country, from the Andean spurs (ca. 69ºW) to meridian 66ºW. South from the Río Grande, the distribution of the fox widens reaching the Atlantic coast. In Chile, it is present throughout the country. The South American grey fox was introduced to the Falkland Islands in the late 1920s early 1930s and is still present in quite large numbers on Beaver and Weddell Islands plus several smaller islands.

The South American grey fox occurs in a variety of habitats, from the warm, arid scrublands of the Argentine uplands and the cold, arid Patagonian steppe to the forests of southernmost Chile.
