Foxes are highly adaptable, which is why it isn’t uncommon to find them in Texas. These dog-like creatures are smart and quick. Because they are so resourceful, they can easily adapt to a human environment, including suburban areas. Foxes have been found in homes, garages and even gardens. They are aggressive and dangerous; therefore, if you suspect you have a fox issue, you need fox control professionals to remove them from your premises.
Compared to other forms of wildlife in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex, foxes may seem relatively rare. It is far more often for people living in urbanized or semi-urbanized areas to encounter animals such as opossums, raccoons, and squirrels. Nevertheless, foxes do occupy urban areas as well, and in fact, may even thrive in regions inhabited by humans.
Two separate species comprise the fox population in the region surrounding DFW – the red fox and the gray fox. Silver foxes and cross foxes may be present, as these are neither independent species nor sub-species, but rather represent melanistic variations of the red fox. The gray fox is not part of the Vulpes genus, which is made up of the “true foxes.” Instead, it and one other species native to the Channel Islands of California are the only members of the Urocyon genus, which is considered to be the most basal living genus of canids.
Between these two species, residents of the DFW area are far more likely to encounter the red fox. Although the gray fox used to be the most common type throughout the eastern USA, the red fox has responded better over time to the effects of human-driven deforestation, and as such has steadily displaced gray fox populations throughout most the country. Both species have a long and storied history of interaction with humans.
