🐺Indian Fox
Indisk räv, bengalisk räv eller bengalräv (Vulpes bengalensis) är ett rovdjur i familjen hunddjur (Canidae) som förekommer endemiskt på den indiska halvön. Arten är jämförelsevis okänd. Den första noggranna vetenskapliga undersökningen utfördes mellan 2005 och 2008 i samband med ett indisk-amerikanskt projekt. På det indoariska språket urdu kallas djuret, men även vissa andra rävar, för Loomari. Den första vetenskapliga beskrivningen av arten offentliggjordes 1800 av den engelska biologen George Shaw som klassificerade arten som Canis bengalensis.
