In summary we can say that the fox has some capacity for colour vision along with various adaptations that allow them to hunt in almost any light conditions. They have a relatively wide field of view, but limited binocular vision and focussing power. Their vision is heavily based on movement and this is more so during the day than at night. More rods are plugged into a single nerve than cones, so it takes a larger movement to register a change in the picture when the animal is using only their rods (at night) than when they’re using their cones (during the day). The need for a big change/movement and the limited focal power of the eye makes hunting small, stationary objects by sight alone very difficult, if not impossible, for the fox. A good listener - fox hearing The frontal bone was more protruded dorsally in the dog than in the red fox. The zygomatic processes of the frontal bone were short and projected laterally in the red fox, but they were larger and projected ventrolaterally in the dog. The osseous boundaries of the orbit were incomplete dorsolaterally in both animals. Therefore, the orbit continued with the pterygopalatine fossa ventrally and temporal fossa caudally. The temporal lines in the skull of the red fox extended caudally from the postorbital processes forming a narrow "V" shape with its apex continued caudally forming a low interparietal crest then a less prominent external sagittal crest. In the dog, the temporal lines extended caudally from the postorbital processes as two ridges that formed a wide “V” shape with its apex continued caudally forming a distinct interparietal crest then a prominent external sagittal crest (Fig. 1a, 1b). Foxes are also killed in large numbers for their pelts. Fox fur is a sought after fashion accessory, especially that of the The domestic dog [ 11] is a member of Family Canidae, it is widely terrestrial abundant carnivore sharing human beings their environments. The domestic dog has been descended from the gray wolf, it is considered the first domesticated animal by human being during the prehistoric eras [ 2, 3]. The Egyptian Baladi (Native, local) dog is a ‘street’ dog and is one of the most common dogs in Egypt [ 12, 13]. The Baladi dogs are mixed breed animals that descended from a mixture of pharaoh hounds, salukis, and Canaan dogs [ 13, 14] and have mated with other breeds as well. They are omnivores animals, and they can be kept as pets although they can live depending on themselves [ 13, 15] or as stray dogs living in the streets or rural countryside [ 13, 14].

In the present study, significant differences in the craniometric and dental measurements (44/47, approximately 94% of the measurements done) were demonstrated between the red fox and Baladi dog. The Baladi dog had significantly higher values of approximately 87% of the measurements done (41/47), whereas red fox had significantly higher values of approximately 6% of the measurements done (3/47). The Baladi dog’s skulls were significantly longer, wider, higher than that of the red fox. Variations in craniometric measurements lead to the significant differences in the craniometric indices, which subsequently indicated by variation in skull shape [ 58]. The facial part of the skull of the Baladi dog was longer and wider than that of the red fox suggesting longer and wider nasal and oral cavities in the Baladi dog than in the red fox. All statistical analyses were performed in R 18. For all parametric inferences, we report point and interval (95% confidence) estimates of effect sizes, while for permutation-based inferences we report point estimates and p-values. All p-values involving multiple comparisons were adjusted for family-wise error using the sequential Bonferroni method. 3D shape comparisons Lavigne, Guillaume de (2015-03-19).

Pressures placed on foxes include habitat loss and being hunted for pelts, other trade, or control. [25] Due in part to their opportunistic hunting style and industriousness, foxes are commonly resented as nuisance animals. [26] Contrastingly, foxes, while often considered pests themselves, have been successfully employed to control pests on fruit farms while leaving the fruit intact. [27] Urocyon littoralis

They are large and are not afraid of humans.

Genetika 27, 1440–50 (1991). also briefly tested for colour discrimination, using both squares of coloured (blue and green) card and different coloured porcelain eggs. He found that colour had no significant impact on the test foxes, while they all responded to the brightness of the eggs used (which is expected, given the domination of the rod cells in the retina); light eggs (e.g. white) were always preferred over dark (blue and red) ones, presumably because these were closer to the hue of a natural egg. Interestingly, Österholm found that although brightness was an important consideration, it was apparently subordinate to size and shape, concluding: a b c d e Jiménez, J. E. (2006). "Ecology of a coastal population of the critically endangered Darwin's fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes) on Chiloé Island, southern Chile". Journal of Zoology. 271 (1): 63–77. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7998.2006.00218.x. A major issue the species faces is their dwindling, limited habitat due to the cutting and burning of the unprotected forests. [32] Because of deforestation, the Darwin's fox habitat is shrinking, allowing for their competitor's ( chilla fox) preferred habitat of open space, to increase; the Darwin's fox, subsequently, is being outcompeted. [34] Another problem they face is their inability to fight off diseases transmitted by the increasing number of pet dogs. [32] To conserve these animals, researchers suggest the need for the forests that link the Nahuelbuta National Park to the coast of Chile and in turn Chiloé Island and its forests, to be protected. [34] They also suggest that other forests around Chile be examined to determine whether Darwin's foxes have previously existed there or can live there in the future, should the need to reintroduce the species to those areas arise. [34] And finally, the researchers advise for the creation of a captive breeding program, in Chile, because of the limited number of mature individuals in the wild. [34] Relationships with humans A red fox on the porch of a house Dead foxes in Carbunup On average, fox skulls have small-sized braincases with a slender and elongated structure. They have fairly long and pointed canine teeth, which give their skulls a tough and stern look.The linear and volumetric differences between wild and RFF populations appear to support the predictions of domestication syndrome that have been observed in other domestic animals. The decreases in cranial vault size, snout length and endocranial volume in the RFFs align closely with alterations observed in other domesticates such as dogs and pigs 3, 27, 28. While the more flexed cranial bases of the RFF skulls are not normally considered a common marker for domestication syndrome, increased cranial base flexion is a common feature of domestic dogs that is absent in wolves 27. Despite this, the absence of additional craniofacial change between the RFF populations calls into question the hypothesis that selection for docility is responsible for the craniofacial characteristics ascribed to domestication syndrome.
