Cross fox (animal) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cross fox (animal) The cross fox is a partially melanistic colour variant of the red fox (''Vulpes vulpes'') which has a long dark stripe running down its back, intersecting another stripe to form a cross over the shoulders. It tends to be more abundant in northern regions,〔 and is rarer than the common red form, but is more common than the even darker silver fox.〔 ==Taxonomy== At one time the cross fox was considered to be a separate species from the red fox, and was given the binomial name ''Canis decassatus'' (the fox genus ''Vulpes'' was then commonly included in the dog genus ''Canis'').〔(''Mammals of Utah'' by Barnes, Claude T. (Claude Teancum), b. 1884, published by Inland Printing Company, 1922 )〕 Fur farmers and trappers continued to treat each red fox colour form as a distinct species long after scientists concluded that they were variations of the same one.〔
