A "silver fox" refers to a color variation of the red fox, characterized by its striking silver-gray fur. This color morph occurs due to a genetic mutation that affects the pigmentation of the fur. Silver foxes are found in various regions, particularly in North America and parts of Europe, and they are known for their adaptability to different habitats. In addition to their natural occurrence, silver foxes have been domesticated and bred for specific traits in fur farming. This practice has led to the development of various breeds, including the Siberian silver fox, which is popular for its beautiful fur. Silver foxes are also recognized for their intelligence and social behavior.
