 | | Foxes are characterized by short legs, an elongated narrow muzzle, erect triangular ears, thick fur, and a long bushy tail. |
 | | The foxes are 90 to 105 cm (36 to 42 in) long, not including the tail, weigh about 7 kg (about 15 lb), and are distinguished by fl ears and feet and a white tip on the tail. |
 | | Within these vast zones diverse subspecies of red fox have developed; those of the south are smaller and have lighter colored coats, and those of the north are larger, with thicker and darker coats. |
