ATTENTION: PLEASE READ, BEFORE COMMENT. (because i´m tired of replying the same questions again and again and again...it just can´t be, that person xy ask things like "but where is the silver fox here?" while it IS mentioned in the text below )
if you need any reference of foxes in colour, size comparison, species, because you have to learn something about that for school or because you are just curious or whatever. please. you can use it. as long as it is used privately for your own. in other words: please do not steal it. i spend so many hours in doing this. all credits are (c) to moi.
for everyone: CRAB-EATING FOX here is named as MAIKONG (cerdocyon thous) because: maikong is german for crab eating fox (that sounds so cool, even for german ears )
also, to answer all those, who are looking for cross fox, silver fox, etc: these foxes are _NO_ seperate fox species, but just color variations of vulpes vulpes (red fox); i also made a little list of them; to see this list about those, follow this link: [link]
and then, to answer all those who don´t get why i put the maned wolf in there: the maned wolf is no real wolf, even though it is called "wolf". it is actually more related to foxes, though it is no real fox either. thats why you´ll find it here as a "foxlike" canine. alright now?
so, those were the important facts. if i´ll find now a comment like "omfg, why is there no silver fox??!!11eleven, i´ll bite your head off.
personal stuff at least: finally done! *phew* all foxes of the world on ONE paper. well, it was a work of a few weeks...hard work. but it was fun. (every day a little bit) completely done on pc.
i think, one of the reasons, i did this, was, that nearly everyone, who hears or says "fox", has the red fox in mind...but there are so many other fox species in the world, some of them nearly unkown - so i did this (including extinct species on the bottom, but without all the subspecies of every single fox-species well, maybe i´ll add them some day )
god, i hope, i didn´t forget one (if yes, feel free to shoot me ) and yesh, i know, i´m a fox-freak - SO WHAT? *proud*
You should add the raccoon dog. According to this graph: [link] the raccoon dog is more closely related to Arctic/red foxes than the bat-eared and grey foxes are.
Thanks for making this! I always wondered about how all the foxes in the world would roughly look like. Thanks for adding the Maikong. It is an awesome name!
