Explanation:

The gray fox is a species of carnivorous mammal of the Canidae family distributed by the American continent, from the south of Canada to Venezuela.

Gray foxes are occasional hunting targets, mainly for the use of their fur, but also for illicit pet trade purposes. Although gray foxes are hunted, it is not as common as in other types of foxes, since the degree of their coats is perceived as inferior in quality. Several thousand gray foxes are caught for fur acquisition each year, notes the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
