Urocyon cinereoargenteus, commonly known as the gray fox, is a small canid native to North America. It is characterized by its distinctive grayish fur, reddish-brown legs, and a bushy tail with a black tip. This species typically weighs between 5 to 10 pounds and has a body length of about 30 to 40 inches, including the tail. The gray fox is unique among canids because it can climb trees, using its sharp claws for grip. It primarily inhabits forests, brushy areas, and urban environments, feeding on small mammals, birds, fruits, and insects. This adaptability allows it to thrive in various habitats across its range.
