Gray Fox
Urocyon cinereoargenteus
Gray foxes live in woodlands, brushy edges, rocky slopes, and suburban thickets across much of North and Central America. They are mostly nocturnal or crepuscular, hunting small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and also eating fruits such as persimmons and berries. Unlike most canids, they can climb trees using hooked claws, often escaping danger or reaching food above ground. Their gray coat, rusty sides, and black-tipped tail help them move unnoticed through dense cover.
