Description

Gray Fox Footprint Replica measures 14×9 inches. Gray Fox Footprint Replica is museum quality polyurethane resin cast. Made in USA. Animal Tracks are an invaluable asset to science teachers, naturalists and zoos. These educational plaques, made of extremely durable plastic, are actually cast from the authentic footprints left behind by each animal described. Our precise footprint can be used as a teaching tool, museum footprint exhibit, home decor footprint, or office decor footprint.

Gray Foxes tracks often show toes more clearly as their feet are less furry than a red fox. Gray foxes can also retract their claws. When retracted, no claw marks register in their tracks.

The Gray Fox has four toes and a distinct triangular paw pad. Though similar to coyotes, fox prints tend to be narrower. They are symmetrical and typically appear in a straight line due to the animal’s alternating gait. Drag marks often accompany fox tracks or footprints in the snow.

The Gray fox or Urocyon cinereoargenteus is a carnivorous mammal of the family Canidae ranging throughout most of the southern half of North America from southern Canada to the northern part of South America (Venezuela and Colombia).
No other canid’s natural range spans both North and South America and it is the only American canid that can climb trees.
