Lifer.
Lifers. About 15 individuals found under rocks on a north-facing slope. Very exciting to see this endangered endemic.
Red Fox would have white tip on tail so points to Gray Fox. Red fox would have black socks and Gray would not.But the black extends well up the leg. Note black ears. Very small white spot on chest. Gray has stripe down the tail as does this one. Face more cat-like pointing toward Gray Fox. My vote is Gray. INat repeatedly suggested Arctic Fox - nope and Gray was way down the list. But I think this is a Gray Fox color phase with black points. Hope to see kits any day now.
