those who would like to learn more of
the lives of foxes, here are some books, articles, and internet links
that I would recommend. All but one of the books are out-of-print but
are still available in the used book market. I have had excellent service getting used books online through AbeBooks. I received prompt shipments from their associated dealers in Canada, the US, and Britain. Grambo, R.L. 1995. The nature of foxes. Hunters of the shadows. Greystone Books, Vancouver BC. 109 pp. Rebecca Grambo's book is still in
print. It is full of absolutely magnificent photos. Its focus is red
foxes but also has quite a bit of information on other foxes of the
world.
Hanrahan, C. 2007. Red Foxes at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. Trail & Landscape 41: 205-214. Available at the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club website: www.ofnc.ca/fletcher/our_animals/foxes/index_e.php. A nicely-written article
describing the life of foxes in greenspace/urban Ottawa, Ontario.
Henry, J.D. 1993. How to spot a fox. Firefly Books, Willowdale, ON. 110 pp. Henry, J.D. 1996. Red Fox. The catlike canine. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, DC. 174 pp. Dr. Henry's two books are based
on his many years of fox research in Western Canada. The books are
highly
readable, full of lots of interesting information, and have many
excellent photos.
Macdonald, D.W. 1987. Running with the fox. Unwin Hyman, London. Dr. Macdonald's book is based on
his years of fox research in urban and suburban Britain. The book is
highly readable with lots of interesting
information, and many entertaining and amusing anecdotes.
Rue, L.L. III. 1969. The world of the Red Fox. Living World Books series. Lippincott Co., New York. 204 pp. Although long out-of-print, this
series is a classic and Leonard Lee Rue III had studied foxes for
decades when he wrote this excellent and very comprehensive book. Good
photos but all are in black
and white.
Voigt, D.R. 1999. Red Fox. Chapter 30 in Wild furbearer management and conservation in North America. Section IV: species biology, management, and conservation. Queens Printer, Ottawa, Ontario. Downloadable as a PDF file from http://publicdocs.mnr.gov.on.ca/ view.asp?document_id=10160. A thorough review of red fox
biology in Ontario based on research by Dennis Voigt's team at the
Ministry of Natural Resources.

of the red fox with lots of info, photos, message board, fox
