Mathews, Tribune News Service PHOTO OF GRAY FOX COURTESY OF JEN OBSBURN ELIOT A juvenile male fox will be a new wildlife ambassador at the High Desert Museum. FOX: Juvenile animal displayed no fear of humans Continued from page 15 body length. A member of the dog family (Canidae), gray foxes have strong, hooked claws that enable them to climb trees to hunt birds and small mammals or take shelter in tree cavities or abandoned bird nests. Though the gray fox is rarely found in the High Desert portion of Oregon, the species is widely distributed from southern Canada, across most of the U.S. and into por- tions of South America. “Our wildlife staff will work with the fox and use him to educate visitors about carnivore conservation in our region, and efforts by various nonprofits and governmental agencies to study the distribu- tion, abundance and ecologi- cal significance of carnivores, including rare species such as the Sierra Nevada red fox in Central Oregon,” said Jon Nelson, the Museum’s curator of wildlife. If all goes well with the fox’s training, the Museum plans to include the fox in the daily Desert Dwellers program starting this spring.
