      OHG. fuhs, foha, Goth. fa[a3]h[?], Icel. f[?]a fox, fox
      fraud; of unknown origin, cf. Skr. puccha tail. Cf. {Vixen}.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) A carnivorous animal of the genus {Vulpes},
            family {Canid[91]}, of many species. The European fox ({V.

            well-known species.
  
      Note: The black or silver-gray fox is a variety of the
               American red fox, producing a fur of great value; the
               cross-gray and woods-gray foxes are other varieties of
               the same species, of less value. The common foxes of
               Europe and America are very similar; both are
