Did you know:

&The Red Fox is the largest of true Foxes, and the most geographically spread.

&It distinguishes itself in its ability to adapt quickly to new and changed environments, and is not enlisted as endangered anywhere.

&Despite its name, the Red Fox is known to appear in abnormal colorings, such as albinos and melanists.

& Silver Foxes are a mutation of the Red Fox, bred for their fur and now finding their way into life-long homes at zoos, saved from being skinned and their pelts sold.
