The most common fox is the red fox! I can't tell you off the top of my head how many there are, but there are somewhere between 20-25 individual species of foxes, as well as numerous subspecies. There are several debates as to whether some foxes are their own species or subspecies, so it all depends on who you ask. In North America alone, there are the red fox (which includes several subspecies in this and other countries as well as different color phases including marble, silver, etc), the gray fox, island fox (including 6 subspecies island fox living only off the California coast and highly endangered), Arctic fox, swift, and kit fox (some say swift and kit are the same species). There are also many other species. To name a few we have: fennec, crab-eating fox, South American gray fox (completely different than our gray fox and thought to be extinct), bat-eared, culpeo, cape, small-eared dog, ruppell's, tibetan, indian, pale, darwin, the chilla, sechura, azaras, corsac, and I may be missing some. Also some people say that the maned wolf and raccoon dog are also considered foxes. There are "true foxes" of genus Vulpes, Urocyon, Otocyon, and Alopex.
