The red fox is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed members of the order Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere including most of North America, Europe, and Asia, plus parts of North Africa. There are two types of foxes in Florida, the red and the gray fox. The red fox is rare in the south and is more prevalent in the north end of the state. In the wild, it’s usually found in places that have lots of trees and bushes to hide in, so you’ll often find them in rural areas and forests.
