Factual books about foxes |

heavy on photos, but Henry writes about foxes with a
wonderful blend of scientific fascination and
emotional appreciation. Paperback, 174 pages |
Foxes : Living on the Edge

Henry examines several
species of fox in this book, including the swift
fox, whose conservation program he was involved with
in Canada. Much more photo-heavy than Red Fox.

Wild Dogs : The Wolves, Coyotes, and Foxes of North
America
by Peggy Bauer |
A large trade paperback
book with some good writing about the animals, but
it's the pictures that are outstanding in this book.
The Bauers' are accomplished wildlife photographers,
and it shows. Trade Paperback, 118 pages |
Wild Puppies
by Erwin Bauer (Photographer), Peggy Bauer |
A smaller book of wild
canids, with less text and pictures only of cubs,
kits, and pups. Possibly the highest cute factor of
any animal book. Again, the pictures are beautiful.

written by Taketazu, describing the year he spent
watching foxes in Japan. Some of the photographs are
stunning, the others simply breathtaking.

Urban Foxes
by Stephen Harris, Guy Troughton |
Dr. Harris is probably
the foremost authority on urban foxes. I used more
of his papers in researching mine than I did anyone
else's. The illustrations are by turns cute/cartoons
and nicely realistic, and the writing is very
accessible. Hardcover, 128 pages |
Foxes, Wolves and Wild Dogs of the World

for facts on the evolution, distribution,
conservation, and behavior of canids worldwide. Also
includes many good photos, including some of rare
and unusual species. Hardcover, 192 pages |
The World of the Fox

Another good "overview"
book with excellent pictures. It includes a variety
of fox species (the North American ones with their
own chapters) and sections on the relationships
between humans and foxes. Hardcover |
