Can a gray fox mate with a red fox?

No. Sorry. The Red fox (Vulpes Vulpes) has 38 Chromosomes and the Gray Fox (Urcyion) has 66 chromosomes. They cant mate anymore than a dog and a fox (any kind of fox) can. The red fox is an invasive species and is taking over the grey foxes range all over North America. If they could interbreed, there would be hybrids all over.
