Red foxes are the largest of the true foxes. Reddish fur with white throat, white tip on the thick, bushy tail. There are, however, many different color phases of this animal.
Red foxes are distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, including introductions into areas outside of their normal range. They are generalists and do well in many different types of habitat.
I found this sleepy fox in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. He had just awakened from a nap and needed a good stretch followed up by a big yawn.

Thanks everyone. Luc, my brother-in-law was with me and we each took lots of photos of this fox and I distinctly remembered our shutters going off at the same time when the fox yawned. Dave actually did enlarge his to a poster size and had it framed!
