Red Fox - Vulpes vulpes The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest of the true foxes, as well as being the most geographically spread member of the Carnivora, being distributed across the entire northern hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, Central America and the steppes of Asia. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammal and bird populations. Red foxes have elongated bodies and relatively short limbs. The tail, which is longer than half the body length (70% of head and body length), is long, fluffy and reaches the ground when in a standing position. Red foxes are the largest species of the genus Vulpes. However, relative to dimensions, red foxes are much lighter than similarly sized dogs of the Canis genus. Their limb bones, for example, weigh 30% less per unit area of bone than expected for similarly sized dogs. They display significant individual, sexual, age and geographical variation in size. On average, adults measure 35–50 cm (14–20 in) high at the shoulder and 45 to 90 cm (18 to 35 in) in body length with tails measuring 30 to 63 in (760 to 1,600 mm). The ears measure 7.7–12.5 cm (3–5 in) and the hind feet 12–18.5 cm (5–7 in). They weigh 2.2 to 14 kg (4.9 to 31 lb), with vixens typically weighing 15–20% less than males. ![]() Common Raccoon - Procyon lotor The raccoon, Procyon lotor (sometimes spelled as 'racoon'), also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. The body weight of an adult raccoon varies considerably with habitat; it can range from 2 to 14 kilograms (4 to 30 lb), but is usually between 3.5 and 9 kilograms (8 and 20 lb). The smallest specimens are found in Southern Florida, while those near the northern limits of the raccoon's range tend to be the largest. Males are usually 15 to 20% heavier than females. At the beginning of winter, a raccoon can weigh twice as much as in spring because of fat storage. It is one of the most variably sized of all mammals. The largest recorded wild raccoon weighed 28.4 kg (62.6 lb) and measured 140 cm (55 in) in total length, by far the largest size recorded for a procyonid. The raccoon is usually nocturnal and is omnivorous, with a diet consisting of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates. It has a grayish coat, of which almost 90% is dense underfur, which insulates against cold weather. Two of its most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are themes in the mythology of several Native American tribes. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks up to three years later. ![]() _____________________________________________________________________________

At equal weights in a full frontal fight I favor the coon. At max weights 50/50 |

here is a coyote vs a baby coon if that was a dog fox it would die again u guys are idiots http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EVIV9Cv6ro another coyote and 2 baby coons if that was 2 baby foxes or even a pair of foxes the coyote would have killed them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EVbnWubVjI a coyote wolf mix and an adult coon how stupid are you kids? go get educated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4vaA-a13Ls Coywolves and coyotes get their courage as top predators in pairs or small packs alone they are not going to take on something like this ever. how stupid can you be? by itself even a coywolf wont dare mess with a big boar coon it will kill any fox no matter how big the fox is. Foxes are easy kills. THey will attack and kill domestic cats and dogs because many are just so stupid and poor fighters make easy targets. A wild animal is a whole new ballgame specially a large experienced male. Edited by Ophiophagy, Dec 30 2012, 09:07 AM.

That's like asking for proof that a Wolf can kill a Wolverine, I don't need it. And since you didn't respect my opinion, I won't respect yours, A Raccoon, no matter what height, weight, anything, will never kill a Coyote, ever. I find it ironic how you have the nerve to call me stupid after saying a Racoon can kill something that weighs a couple of times more than it. Get educated yourself.
