Topic: Vulpes chama


  
  ADW: Vulpes chama: Information
Cape foxes (Vulpes chama) are found in sub-Saharan African desert.
chama is mainly nocturnal, although pups do play outside of the dens during the day.
chama probably helps to regulate populations of small mammals through its predatory behavior, which in turn probably has an effect on the plant communities upon which such small mammals feed.

 Lioncrusher's Domain -- Canidae
Some taxonomists, rather, recognize tribes in place of subfamilies.
The two such recognized tribes, placed in the subfamily Caninae, is the Tribe Vulpini, which includes the foxes of the genera Vulpes, Alopex, Urocyon, and Otocyon; and the Tribe Canini, which encompasses all other genera.
The reason is because the Canidae had already been split into three subfamilies (see evolution, below).

 Canidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speothos and Chrysocyon are primitive members of Canini, but might be placed in their own clade.
Cuon and Lycaon may in fact belong in Canis, and there is evidence that Alopex and Fennecus are not valid clades, but are both part of Vulpes.
At least one subspecies of wolf has recently been listed as a separate species - the Eastern Canadian Wolf, Canis lycaon.

 Wildlifeonline - Natural History of the Red Fox
The taxonomy of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) is still somewhat equivocal and there have been 48 subspecies of Vulpes vulpes proposed.
In winter, the American Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes fulva – a proposed subspecies of the European Red Fox) extends its range from three kilometres (2 miles) to between eight and sixteen kilometres (5 to 10 miles) across.
During the breeding season, males are known to move over areas larger than their home territory, presumably looking for mates, while females typically spend a greater proportion of their time at the periphery of their territories (again, this probably facilitates mate-finding).

There may be no lions, but for many the experience of seeing such unique and bizarre mammals as Aardvark (Orycter-opus afer, below), Caracal (Felis caracal), Porcupine (Hytrix africaeaustralis) and Aardwolf (Proteles cristata) will be even more memorable.
More common predators are Bat-eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis), African Wild Cat (Felis sylvestris), Cape Fox (Vulpes chama) and Black-backed Jackal (Canis mesomelas).
You may be lucky enough to see one of these species foraging at dawn or dusk.
