FOX

Foxes are small to medium-sized, omnivorous mammals belonging to


several genera of the family Canidae. Foxes have a flattened skull, upright
triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout, and a long
bushy tail (or brush).
Twelve species belong to the monophyletic "true foxes" group of genus 
Vulpes. Approximately another 25 current or extinct species are always or
sometimes called foxes; these foxes are either part of the paraphyletic
 group of the South American foxes, or of the outlying group, which
consists of the bat-eared fox, gray fox, and island fox.[1] Foxes live on every
continent except Antarctica. By far the most common and widespread
species of fox is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with about 47
recognized subspecies.The global distribution of foxes, together with their
widespread reputation for cunning, has contributed to their prominence in
popular culture and folklore in many societies around the world.
