The Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) is a species of canid ranging from southern Canada, throughout most of the lower United States and Central America, to Venezuela. This species and the closely related Island Fox are the only living members of the genus Urocyon, which is considered to be among the most primitive of the living canids.

The gray fox is small and has a pepper brown back and white smudge around its nose; tawny sides, neck, and legs; a white belly; and a black stripe along its back and tail. Another black stripe crosses its face from the nose to the eye and continuing to the side of the head. Standing about 12-16 inches at the shoulders, the gray fox is an agile canid able to scurry up and down trees with relative ease.
