Red Fox Image By: Yvette van den Berg, Pixabay In this article, we take a look at 12 of the most common morphs and mutations found among fox species. With all the different fox species, combined with human development, there are dozens of different fox morphs around today.
Many of these color morphs and mutations are naturally occurring in different fox species, but some are the products of directed breeding programs from fox fur farms. There are so many color morphs among foxes that it can make species identification difficult, but this is part of what makes foxes so special. Some foxes actually change color with the seasons and some change multiple times a year, while other foxes are born with unique morphs that they keep for their entire lifetime. These coat colors, or morphs, can also vary depending on the time of year when the fox was born. There are over 30 different fox species, and each has a differing and uniquely colored coat that can be strikingly different, even among foxes of the same species.
