Cape Fox

The Cape fox (Vulpes chama), also called the asse, cama fox or the
silver-backed fox, is a small fox, native to southern Africa. It is also
called a South African version of a fennec fox due to its big ears. It is the
only true fox occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, and it retains primitive
characteristics of Vulpes because it diverged early in the evolutionary
history of the group. Cape fox is the only species in the genus Vulpes that
exists in Africa south of the equator. It primarily occupies arid and
semi-arid areas, but in sections, such as the fynbos biome of the western Cape
Province of South Africa, the species reaches areas of higher rainfall and
denser vegetation. In the central and western regions of southern Africa, the
species is widespread, reaching around 15 ° N in south-western Angola. It is
widespread in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa, occurring in most parts of
the Western and Northern Cape provinces, the Eastern Cape (excluding the
southeastern side), the Free State, western and northwestern KwaZulu-Natal and
the North-West province. It also occurs in Lesotho, a high mountainous region.
he Cape fox is nocturnal and most active just before dawn or after dusk; it
can be spotted during the early mornings and early evenings. During the day,
it typically shelters in burrows underground, holes, hollows, or dense
thickets. It is an active digger that will excavate its own burrow, although
it generally modifies an abandoned burrow of another species, such as the
springhare, to its specific requirements.
