Scapula of a Gray Fox - Urocyon cinereoargenteus These are the remains of a gray fox. The bones were picked clean, but the spine was still intact and I admit that I spent some time &quot;playing&quot; with the bones, especially the spine. There were clear teeth marks on many of the bones. There was also a ton of fur. The remains spread over about a meter. The fox was probably killed by a coyote, possibly by a bobcat. My kids and I ran into a mom coyote with pups in this area a few months ago. We also see foxes here regularly.<br />
<br />
Habitat: Spotted near the edge of a pond next to an overgrown meadow (with a deciduous forest about a stone&#039;s throw away)<br />

Scapula of a Gray Fox - Urocyon cinereoargenteus

These are the remains of a gray fox. The bones were picked clean, but the spine was still intact and I admit that I spent some time "playing" with the bones, especially the spine. There were clear teeth marks on many of the bones. There was also a ton of fur. The remains spread over about a meter. The fox was probably killed by a coyote, possibly by a bobcat. My kids and I ran into a mom coyote with pups in this area a few months ago. We also see foxes here regularly.
