This fox would represent the very first animal of a very small group, literally and figuratively.
Standing at an average shoulder height of just 12 inches or 30 centimeters and a length of 31 inches or 79 centimeters (including the tail) this housecat sized predator weighs in between 5 and 7 pounds or 2 to 3 kg.
One of Canada's most successful conservation stories, the swift fox was completely extirpated from Canada before 1940. A program at restoring the swift fox began in 1983 and has managed to return the tiny predator to its native home in Southern Alberta and maintains a steadily growing population.
A native animal with a particularly unique story within Alberta itself, the Swift fox is one of the first animals I hoped to see in Askiy Ridge. Things being as they are, I've made this post in the hopes I can get the Swift fox added to the roster at some point and if need be, it can replace the Mallard ducks (*c'mon now, we don't need six maps of those things)
