Red Fox Vulpes fulva 



foxes because they jump to amazing heights and one of 

 our native species can climb. 



On the other hand, while foxes destroy game and 

 domestic animals, they render a certain amount of 

 beneficial service by destroying field mice, rabbits and 

 other pests. But the harm they do counterbalances the 

 good and, under present conditions, it is expedient to 

 consider our native foxes as economically destructive. 



There are two species of foxes in Pennsylvania, 

 both of them differing somewhat in size, color and 

 habits, but the end results of their activities are similar. 

 The fur of both the red and gray foxes is very valu- 

 able. The black and silver foxes are varieties of the 

 red fox.
