Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife-
Red foxes are found all over Indiana. They can be distinguished from their distant cousin, the gray fox, by their black legs and black backs of their ears. They also typically have some white on their tail. Their red coat color is not always a great indicator because red foxes can come in several color phases. Some red foxes are black, silver, or gray, making them difficult to distinguish from the gray fox. Red foxes are not native to Indiana—they were introduced by European settlers—but are considered naturalized, meaning they are not invasive and are accepted as part of Indiana’s wildlife community and managed accordingly.
