cross fox
Quick Summary
A cross fox is a melanistic color phase of the red fox, characterized by a dark, cross-shaped marking on its back and shoulders. Foxes, in general, are mammals belonging to the dog family (Canidae). They are typically described as small to medium-sized, with bushy tails, pointed ears, and narrow snouts. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) has the widest natural distribution of any land mammal besides humans. While the typical red fox has reddish-brown fur, color variations exist, including the black and silver fox, and the cross fox. Foxes are adaptable and can be found in diverse habitats, including urban areas.1234
