🐺Indian Fox
Der Bengalfuchs (Vulpes bengalensis) ist ein auf dem indischen Subkontinent endemischer, mittelgroßer Fuchs. Über das Tier ist verhältnismäßig wenig bekannt, detaillierte wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen, insbesondere zu seiner Ökologie, fanden erstmals im Rahmen eines indisch-amerikanischen Projekts von 2005 bis 2008 statt. Auf Englisch ist er auch als „Indian fox“ („Indischer Fuchs“) bekannt. Der englische Zoologe George Shaw veröffentlichte im Jahre 1800 die erste wissenschaftliche Beschreibung und klassifizierte die Art als Canis bengalensis.
