Corsac Fox Research Paper
The scientific classification for the fox is Vulpes. They are closer to dogs in modern classification because they are in the same biological family, canidae. The family includes other dog type creatures such as wolves, coyotes and jackals. Some people say that foxes are very so similar/genetically related to dogs that they can produce offspring together, but still isn’t proven yet. On the other hand, the cats are in a complete different biological family. The cats are in the family felidae, which is why humans call cats’ felines.
In the Vulpes genera, there are 12 different fox species:

His behavior is hunting at night, since these foxes are nocturnal, and during the day it cuddles up in holes to sleep. This fox is the same as the Arctic fox when it comes to diet, they eat both plants and animals. The Cape fox is similar to the Blandford’s fox with the appearance, beige, big ears and a bushy tail.
The Corsac fox (vulpes corsac)’s habitat is in Central Asia, and they live best in semiarid deserts. The behavior of this fox is quite simple, they don’t need to defend territory and sometimes even form packs. They are nocturnal, just like the majority of the rest of the foxes. The Corsac fox has smaller teeth and a wider skull than most of the fox, it has a grey/yellowish fur in the majority of the body, and also has a dark line going down the spine. They usually eat small rodents and insects like hamsters, ground squirrels, gerbils, and sometimes eat hares.
The Fennec fox (vulpe zerda) is located in the northern part of Africa and in the Sahara. It has large ears, not like other foxes which helps them to stay warm. It is the smallest species of canid in the whole world. Its tail has a black tip just like most of the foxes and its fur color is a creamy color to keep them warm at night. The Fennec fox is quite social with other animals and they make a lot of different noises like barking and purring. It eats plants, rodents, insects, birds, eggs and
