A Manual of Mammalogy
The front cover depicts two red foxes, Vulpes vulpes, apparently engaged in a territorial dispute. The red They many species of canids, a group which also includes other kinds of foxes, dogs, wolves, coyotes, jackals, etc.
These territories will be defended by a social group called a pack in the most social of the canids, such as wolves, or by individuals in the case of the least social, such as the red fox. In general, the larger species of
canids tend to be the most social, and the smaller ones the least social, although there are exceptions to this pattern. The red fox apparently once had the second largest natural geographic range of any non-human
mammal. The species with the largest range was the wolf. Both were widely distributed throughout the temperate and arctic portions of the Northern Hemisphere. The wolf, however, has been eliminated by humans from many areas that it inhabited, while the red fox appears to be extending its range, largely as the result of human-induced environmental changes.
