The American Red Fox (''Vulpes vulpes fulvus''), commonly known as the Eastern American Red Fox is a North American subspecies of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes). Historically, Red Foxes were classified as two species: Vulpes vulpes in Eurasia and Vulpes fulva in the Americas (Tesky, 1995). Since 1959 they have been considered to be a singular species of Vulpes vulpes, with Vulpes fulva one of the ten subspecies (Hall, 1981; Kamler & Ballard, 2002). The American Red Fox differs from European forms by the greater breadth of its feet, its longer fur, noticeably shorter nose and ears, and its finer brush. According to hunters' accounts, they have lesser vigor and endurance in the chase compared to the European variant.〔Charles Knight, ''Sketches in Natural History: History of the Mammalia'', Published by C. Cox, 1849〕 ==Habitat== Vulpes vulpes fulva inhabits the entire region of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains except for Florida, the southern Great Plains, and southern Texas (Frey, 2013; Tesky, 1995). The American Red Fox generally prefers mixed vegetation communities that occur on edge habitats with a high level of diversity (Tesky, 1995). In developed areas the American Red Fox will inhabit areas that offer a combination of woodland and agricultural land (Tesky, 1995).
