Vulpes vulpes fulves - The eastern American red fox is a subspecies of the red fox, a species native to Europe. The America variety can be found east of the Rocky Mountains, with three exceptions; Florida, the Great Plains, and Southern Texas. It differs from its European cousin in having longer fur, wider feet, a shorter muzzle, and shorter ears. Red foxes are monogamous and develop territories ranging from 2.5 to 5 square kilometers in size. A breeding pair of red foxes typically raises litters averaging 3 to 8 kits per season.
