GRAY FOX FULL-BODY MOUNT
Urocyon cinereoargenteus
Found mostly in the southwestern United States the Gray Fox is one of North America's most beautiful animals. They are very elusive and quite secretive. It is similar in size to its cousin in the North, the Red Fox, but is in fact, along with the Island Fox, the only surviving member of the Urocyon genus, one of the most primitive of living canids. They live mainly on rodents, small birds, insects, turning to fruit when such meat is unavailable, and are distinguished amongst canids (the Asian Raccoon Dog aside) in their ability to climb trees. This is a handsome example, standing on a piece of drifted wood fixed to a hanging plaque, and projects 20½ inches from the wall.
