Lycalopex Sechurae

This is a Sechuran fox, also called a Peruvian desert fox. They are the smallest fox species in South America.

Sechuran foxes live in the coastal regions of Peru and Ecuador. These foxes aren’t a part of the vulpes genus, meaning they aren’t actually foxes- they are more closely related to coyotes and jackals. Sechuran foxes are part of the lycalopex genus which they share with five other south american fox species. All these South American fox species are called zorros.

Sechuran foxes are highly adaptable animals, meaning they can thrive in many different habitats. These include tropical forests, deserts, beaches, and plains. They eat just about anything they find in these habitats, including fruit, seed pods, fish, eggs, insects, carrion, and rodents, which they hunt for at night. They can survive for a long time with no water, getting all they need from their food.

Since they prefer to hunt at night, sechuran foxes spend the day in a burrow. They’re solitary animals and are usually alone, but they occasionally travel in pairs.

Mostly due to habitat loss, the sechuran fox is listed as Near Threatened. This means that it isn’t endangered but might be in the near future. There are an estimated 15,000 individuals in the wild.

I rate the sechuran fox 10/10. Very resourceful animal.

My Furry Ricktober Day One: The Fox

Explanation below cut

u don’t get one

jk i’ll tell you

so i dont like doing the official inktober prompts, but i do love a good prompt list so i searched pinterest and found some old anthro prompts list for inktober by someone called "Pumpkin-Queeny" on DevArt from back in 2017. I hope they don't mind that I'm using it as an excuse to draw my gross old man as a furry every day...

I’m gonna try and draw a furry rick based on each day’s animal, like today I did a Sechuran Fox. And it def wasn’t entirely just cuz i thought it said szechuan at first. (lying)

ignore the fact that i can only draw cat furries and he just looks like a fluffy cat ugh maybe i’ll learn how to draw better furries cuz of this

Actually, you know what, lets talk about that Fursona I mentioned earlier.

This is Fennec Reynard aka Fox, Red, Kit, Corsac, Bengal, Ferrucyan, Ferru, Sechuran, Pampas, Pam, Azara, Zorro, Vulpes, Diane, Swiftpaw, and any combination thereof. They're non-binary and their pronouns are They/She. They come from a planet of fox people with illusion powers and their ultimate goal in life was to be a pilot. Unfortunately, this dream was dashed when their parents insisted on sending them to magic school instead.

She did prove to have an incredible aptitude for Technomagic but she never lost that dream of becoming a pilot. Eventually, they got a lucky break when they learned a spell that would let them bond with a ship. And so they stole the fastest ship they could find and bonded with it, with the ship essentially becoming an extension of herself. She also accidentally turned the onboard computer into a True AI, which is illegal, but she had already stolen a ship so what's one more crime.

They ditched her old name and took up the alias of Fennec Reynard, along with a whole list of other aliases, and took up mercenary work and bounty hunting. Among her crew she serves as the pilot (obviously) as well as the infiltrator, specializing in disguises and extracting information from people.

Personality-wise, she's mischievous and flirty. They don't talk about their past much and enjoy being mysterious. They're also a bit of a slut, partially for work (extracting information) and partially for pleasure. Of course, above all else they love to fly and when they get in the pilot's seat their mischievous and flirty personality is almost completely replaced by one of thrill-seeking and exhilaration.

FOX AU!! FOX AU!!

Ok guys foxes are my favourite animal I love them so dearly. You know what else I love so dearly? Red dead redemption. So here my silly idea for a rdr2 fox au.

So, the general idea would be that the van der linde skulk would have been formed by Dutch obv. Dutch had started off as a marble fox in a fur farm, and there’d be like this whole thing about fur farms like instead of the law and stuff it’s fur farmers and all that yall know what I mean. But yeah he escaped the fur farm and met a swift fox, Hosea. A while later they rescued a marble fox kit from another fur farm and that kit was indeed the one and only Arthur Morgan. It all pretty much started from there I hope this makes sense it’s the middle of the night.

Anyway here’s all the characters and what type of fox they are

Dutch - Black marble fox

Hosea - Swift fox

Arthur - Brown marble fox

John - Black marble fox

Micah - culpeo

Sadie - Cape fox

Javier - grey fox

Bill - Tibetan fox

Karen - Fennec fox

Abigail - Silver fox

Jack - Black marble fox

Susan - Black marble fox

Charles - Cross fox

Lenny - bat eared fox

Trelawny - Red fox

Molly - Red fox

Strauss - crab eating fox

Swanson - hoary fox

Mary Beth - kit fox

Tilly - pampas fox

Uncle - sechuran fox

Mr Pearson - Darwin’s fox

Kieran Duffy - bat eared fox

Sean Macguire - Red fox

i love foxes guys

Lycalopex fulvipes

Charles Darwin found these foxes on the voyage of the Beagle, so they were named after him. Their native name is zorro chilote.

They are described as charismatic and bold around people. After meeting one of them on Chiloé island in 1834, Darwin described them as “more curious or more scientific, but less wise, than the generality of his brethren”. In other words, Darwin’s foxes are very curious and observant, but not as wise as other fox species.

Darwin’s foxes are not actually foxes. True foxes belong to the vulpes genus, and these foxes belong to the lycalopex genus. They share this genus with the Sechuran fox, the hoary fox, the pampas fox, the culpeo, and the chilla. It was believed for a long time that the Darwin’s fox was a subspecies of the chilla, but they are now classified as a different species.

While most South American fox species prefer open grassland or scrub areas, Darwin’s foxes prefer dense forests. They are endemic to Chile, meaning they are only found there, with most individuals found on Chiloé island and in the Valdivian Coastal Range.

In these forests, Darwin’s foxes hunt for small animals like rodents and lizards along with fruit, eggs, beetles, and carrion. They are not strictly nocturnal, diurnal, or crepuscular, so they just hunt when they want to.

Like almost all other fox species, Darwin’s foxes prefer to live alone, only living in pairs during the breeding season and when they have kits.

Due to habitat loss, feral dogs, and being hunted for their fur, Darwin’s foxes are highly endangered with less than 1,000 individuals left. Conservation efforts have grown their population by small amounts but they are still in danger of extinction.

I rate this very curious fox 18/10. They may be “less wise” than other foxes but their charisma makes up for that

Lycalopex vetulus

The hoary fox is part of the lycalopex genus, meaning they aren’t real foxes and are more closely related to coyotes and jackals. They share the lycalopex genus with the sechuran fox from the previous post and four other “false” foxes.

Hoary foxes are endemic to Brazil. This means they are native to Brazil and they aren’t found anywhere else. They are specifically native to the Cerrado of Brazil, which is a huge tropical savanna.

These foxes get their name from the color hoary, which is grayish-white like the foxes’ fur. In Brazil they are called raposinha-do-campo, which is Portuguese for “meadow fox.”

Weighing from 6 to 9 pounds (3 to 4 kg), hoary foxes are roughly the same size as a house cat. The foxes’ slender build allow them to be very agile and fast, making them efficient hunters. They are omnivores, hunting small rodents, birds, and reptiles, although most of their diet consists of fruit and insects.

Like the Sechuran fox, hoary foxes are solitary until the breeding season and when they have kits. They have very small litters that they raise in a den. Usually this den is taken over from an animal like an armadillo.

I rate the hoary fox 14/10. They have cool tails and their ears are the perfect fit for them
