Bengal fox (Vulpes bengalensis)

"The Indian fox or the Bengal fox is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. This pretty little fox varies a good deal in the shades of colour in different localities, and according to season. The fur just after it has assumed its winter coat is very beautiful, a purer gray on the body contrasting with the rufous limbs. The legs are remarkably slender. The tail is very bushy. It is usually carried trailing when the fox is going slowly or hunting for food ; horizontal when running ; and raised almost erect when making a sudden turn."
