We know how much you guys love cute foxes, so we thought we’d introduce you to some of the most beautiful and striking fox species out there so you’d know which types of foxes are your favorite!
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is what usually comes to mind when you hear the word “fox,” which makes sense since it can be found all around the Northern hemisphere. However, this diverse and adaptive genus has species across the globe, all of which are specially adapted to thrive in their environments. Take for example the Fennec fox, that’s accustomed to living in the Sahara desert – that’s nothing like the cool forests that we are used to seeing a fox in! And, with some help from selective breeding, many new fox breeds look nothing short of majestical.
If you love foxes and think they look better in the wild than they do around someone’s neck, then you’ll definitely love seeing all of these fox pictures, depicting them in their natural environment.
P.S.: There are even some pictures of baby foxes in this list – nothing beats that in cuteness!
Fennec Fox

Fennec foxes, native to North Africa and the Sahara desert, are distinguished by their large ears, which serve to dissipate their body heat. These ears give them such good hearing that they can even hear their prey moving under the sand. Their cream-colored fur helps them deflect heat during the day and stay warm at night.

Red Fox

The red fox is the largest, most wide-spread and, as a result, the most diverse species of all the foxes. They can be found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and in Australia as well. They are very agile hunters and have been known to jump over 2m tall fences. (Image credits: Roeselien Raimond)
Marble Fox

The “arctic marble fox,” also a member of the red fox species, is not a naturally occurring coloration – it was bred for its fur by humans. (Image credits: Ewald Mario)
Gray Fox

The gray fox, which lives throughout North America, is distinguished by its “salt-and-pepper” upper coat and black-tipped tail. This fox is one of the only canids capable of climbing trees. (Image credits: John Pane)
Silver Fox

The silver fox is actually the same species as the red fox – they simply have different pigmentation variations. The silver fox was, at on time, one of the most valuable fur foxes that could be found. They are still bred and farmed for their fur. (Image credits: Matt Knoth)
Arctic Fox

The arctic fox can be found throughout the Arctic Circle. Their thick fur keeps them from shivering in temperatures as low as -70 degrees Celsius (-94 Fahrenheit). These foxes have relatively short legs and snouts, which helps keep their surface area down and retain heat. (Image credits: Cecilie Sonsteby)
Cross Fox

The cross fox is yet another color variant of the red fox. It is most common in North America. (Image credits: Ben Andrew)
100% agree. What's even worse than hunters are trappers and those who torture and kill these beautiful animals on fur "farms".
Load More Replies...All foxes are beautiful... Except the dead ones, ugly people wears on their coats!
.. can't understand why hunting still goes on..!?!?!;'-/
Load More Replies...Lovely to see so many fox types, have the arctic mable foxes been released into the wild then to breed as they like ?
Or kept only in captivity? Have they been crossed with dogs?...maybe time for google ;)
Load More Replies...Red blacktailed fox still my favorite, but that marble fox is pretty darned cute
Lovely collection. But where is the Bat-Eared Fox? It's also really beautiful!
The folks protesting against fur coats & whatnot are quite funny. in the long run its much better for our environment, rather than those faux furs that can save your poor mentality and perhaps a few foxes right now, but later on when they pile up in landfills and the bits of plastics they're made with choke our fish and pollute our seas, it shows a much bigger problem. Furs are good for us and the environment, its what our ancestors and even certain cultures use, the difference is that they treated the animal with dignity and honored it life, and we take and take and take without a second thought.
Both fox hunters and wolf hunters should die to be honest. Both are wondering creatures and don't deserve violent torture
Technically, there are true (Vulpes) and false foxes (bat-eared, crab-eating etc.) and the Marble, Silver and Cross foxes are not species, but colour variants. And humans - probably the most endangered species, we are a threat to ourselves and the world - should really stop hunting, abusing, trapping etc. and keeping exotic pets that belong in their natural environments!
I never really liked dogs, until I foundthat foxes were adorable and there are fox-like dogs that are so cute too! Don't hunt foxes!
I love looking at the absolutely beautiful variety of fox breeds. It's amazing how they can populate any habitat anywhere on the globe and still thrive. I hate the fact that people keep these and any other wild animal as pets!!
OMG sooooooooooo cute sssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee the foxes all the fox hunters soud stop NOWW I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screenshot...b838a8.png
I think all people who wear fur or spend money on fur should be drowned in a sack, unless they stop. All the Kardashians, Mary oblige, p daddy, Beyonce Minaj and all of them, I f*****g HATE them, I hate their clothes. They are dirty vicious ugly killers. Also the people who"hunt" or torture foxes in GB and elsewhere. If they could all disappear from the earth and the fox populations could come back, I swear I would give all my money if I could make that happen
All the fox's in the world are gorgeous beautiful even any words i can say cant describe how beautiful these Animals are and i hate seeing people just sit and kill these poor Animals
My pet goat had twins last week and 2 days later both were gone. They were killed and eaten by foxes, now I chase the foxes till I get them.
I think all fox hunters shall be shot or done whatever they do to the beautiful foxes! :D #favanimal
All the fox hunters should be...distroid!!!God take care of this souls!!!
THIS IS SOOOOOO ADORABLE AND I 100% AGREE WITH Elle Songeure and Candace White
THIS IS SOOOOO ADORABLE And I 100% agree with Candace White and Elle Songeure!!!!!!!!
Foxes are amazing! They are soo gorgeous! I agree though, people who have fur coats, muffs, etc should bury them.
beautiful animals and no one should ever kill them. We have to protect them now and forever.
You should add in the Siberian Fox: the domesticated silver fox bred in the Fox Farm Experiments. Truly domesticated, not just tame!
We have had a family of foxes in our garden for 3 years, two cubs are still with us, they r 9 months old now. We feed them every day. :-)
The silver, marble and cross fox are the same species as the Red Fox. They only have a genetic mutation that makes their fur look different.
Foxes have more right to this planet than us, we are the true vermin, the sooner people understand this, the better.
Totally beautiful ! Little wonders of nature that are tortured and abused by the human scum involved
Missed out the tibetan sand fox : http://www.factzoo.c...tibetan-fox.jpg
Don't forget the Andean Fox, or Culpeo Fox from South America! It's like a Grey Fox, but not quite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culpeo
Just put red & silver (melanistic), vulpes vulpesand, and arctic & marble (hybridized), vulpes lagopus,together & add Tibetan & Darwin foxeS
Beautiful animals! But I`d far rather see those foxy designs done in faux (fun) fur than with the real animal!
It is a great article but I think the marble fox picture encourages breeding between species .The marble fox was why I read the article.
When I look at a fox I see a wonderful beautiful animal, I would like to have one for a friend...
There are 4 species here.. Cross and Silver are Red fox color phases.. Marble foxes were bred for fur farms and aren't in the wild sadly..

Aww, you didn't include Corsac Fox? :/http://upload.wikime...lpes_corsac.jpg
It's not even the hunters we should hate, it's the people that buy the coats. To kill a beautiful animal like this so you can wear it's coa
I often see fox in my field hunting voles, mice and ground squirrels. I love watching them.
They are all gorgeous but none are as handsome as my cat, Inspector Fox.
Well they aren't all beautiful! But the others are gorgeous! https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fox-species-photo
Hunters are an important part of conservation of species... We don't hunt animals for free. We pay for conservation! We're not "horrible".
Are there foxes in colorado???? Who would wear such a beautiful animal.
Also, I have a grey fox that comes up onto my porch to eat leftover cat food. So beautiful!
I think most fox hunting is done with a "scent" which is dragged over the course by a person.
Most, no longer use a live fox. They use a scent and a person goes over the course and places it here and there. Thank God.
Cute little fox pics. Is fox hunting still legal?? Hopefully not.
I agree w Candace White. Foxes are my favorite animals. So beautiful, graceful. Wish I could have one, but I know that would be wrong.
We have Kit Foxes where I live (Central CA). You can occasionally see them downtown and in my neighbood. They're small - and protected!
There are foxes in danger due to fashion (Burberry). pls sign the petition and save Kimi the fox in Finland - https://help.four-paws.org/de

They are such beautiful and sweet animals. If I saw a hunter try to shoot one, I would f**k up the hunter. OK, I hate hunters of all kinds.
If you're a fox, be a Cross fox. No one will cage and breed you for your fur.
Where can I buy the red fox and the Arctic fox from would love to have them as pets
What's the magic that make them to be the WONDERFUL LOVELY FOX !! i love its.
Beautiful! Can't even think what people do to them at fur farms.. :( Let them live in their natural environment!!!

Load More Replies...Marvelous pictures of representatives of the diverse genus of foxes. They really are so beautiful!
They are so beautiful looking and full of personality. A real pleasure to see them.
I think these beautiful animals should be left in the wild. I will create a scene when I see someone wearing real fur.

Beautiful and harmless, ( unless you're a small dog or cat), species.
I absolutely love foxes! Thank you for sharing this. You should have included the Tibetan fox also.
I just LOVE foxes and I live on the land and they take my chooks from time to time...But I still love 'em
They are so incredibly beautiful. Absolutely stunning animals! I think my favorites are the Fennec & Arctic!
Que hermoso animal.Deben protegerlo.Es diferente al zorro colombiano.
My favourite is the Fennec Fox, I love their big beautiful ears.. All fox are beautiful. The photos here are just stunning..
Spotted a red fox walking along a golf course by our house and when I tried to take its picture it magically stepped back 1/ and disappeared
This is wonderful collection of photos. What beautiful animals foxes are. I hope they are not endangered.
Foxes are a feral, introduced species in Australia that decimate the native wildlife - they need to be eliminated.
Foxes are gorgeous... The only ugly ones are the dead ones ugly people wear on their coats.
Blacktailed Red Fox still my favorite, but that Marble fox is pretty darned cute
Cruel is trapping foxes in the wild to throw them in a pen so dogs may chase them to death ! Valerie Ackerman " fox penning "
How can anyone in their right mind shoot these beautiful creatures?
Those folk who say the fox is rarely caught ought to've been on hunts near where I lived. Caughr and ripped apart every time.
To see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is a delight . FUR FARMS MUST BE BANNED !!!
its a shame that these cute little creatures are hunted /reared for fur.How can one even have the heart to hurt them :-(
Brilliant photo's of beautiful creatures! Maybe Foxhunting - an inhumane sport and 'fur farms' should be illegal worldwide!
Beautiful photo's of beautiful creatures... Maybe Foxhunting - An Inhumane Sport & 'fur farms' should be illegal world wide!
I think that the fox looks like a mix of canine and feline, the best of both genectic ranges!
Disgusting that raising and killing foxes for fur is still allowed today!!! They should be allowed to live in the wild, naturally.
Disgusting that they are raised and killed for their fur in this day and age. Makes me sick to my stomach. Should be allowed to live free!
Trapping or hunting is what keeps the populations in check. They are beautiful even on my wall :)
Difficult to believe that they are still being killed for their fur....who ARE these people who buy it to adorn themselves ...
There are real people in Alaska that use it for going out in -40 degree weather that can't get the same protection from synthetic clothing
