🐺Gray fox
A raposa-cinzenta (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) é uma espécie de mamífero onívoro da família Canidae, que habita um território compreendido desde o sul do Canadá até o norte da Venezuela e Colômbia, passando por vários estados dos Estados Unidos, tendo ocorrência também no norte do Brasil, estado do Amapá, pelas proximidades de Ferreira Gomes, com exceção das montanhas rochosas do norte. Esta espécie e a sua única congênere, a pequena raposa-das-ilhas, são os únicos animais ainda existentes do género Urocyon, que é considerado o mais basal dos canídeos vivos. Embora já tenha sido a raposa mais comum no leste dos Estados Unidos, e ainda seja encontrada lá, o avanço humano e o desmatamento permitiram que a raposa-vermelha se tornasse mais dominante. Os Estados do Pacífico ainda têm a raposa cinza como dominante.
