Jeff Wendorff's photography portfolio of
Cross Fox from the family Felidae - Vulpes
The
Cross Fox is a partially melanistic color variant of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) which has a long dark stripe running down its back, intersecting another stripe to form a cross over the shoulders. It tends to be more abundant in northern regions, and is rarer than the common
red form, but is more common than the even darker
Silver Fox.
We regularly are able to photograph this cool variation of the fox during my wildlife photography workshops. You can learn more about my workshops online at
