Scientific name???
I think this is called the red fox (not redtailed fox ... perhaps you are getting confused with the red-tailed hawk).





The scientific name Vulpes vulpes. (Incidentally, it is traditional to capitalize the genus name and non-cap the species name ... specifically for cases like this where they are both the same. The abbreviation is V. vulpes.)





There are *many* subspecies of the red fox.





Here's a great place to *start* your research:

But don't just copy, or rely on, wikipedia (or any encyclopedia). Teachers are onto that.
