Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758)

Red Fox

Vulpes vulpes is distributed statewide. However, many of the records given by Caire et al. (1989) are observations. Specimen records have since been reported for Beaver, Cimarron, and Texas counties ( Dalquest et al. 1990) and Grady County (Tyler and Donelson 1996). Observational records have since been reported for Jefferson and Harmon counties (Tyler and Donel- son 1996) and Ellis County ( Caire et al. 2010). New county records are reported for Cleveland, Lincoln, and Mayes counties.
