H-40 Red Fox (curled up)
Color Reproduction | By Charles Beckendorf
Additional Information
The red fox is not a true native Texan, but instead a result of several introductions - in East and Central Texas - for the purpose of fox hunting. The native gray fox just quickly ran up a tree and ended the chase.
The red fox is a native of the U.S., however, and is the most widespread - from the Arctic to the Mexican border.
The Texas territory of the red fox is a wide corridor of perhaps 300 miles running from the upper northeast corner down to the Southwest - leaving out the Trans-Pecos, West Texas and the Panhandle, and South Texas. Its range overlaps the range of the gray fox in this corridor, and because their hunting habits and prey animals are almost identical, they do compete for territory.
This image is from the Charles Beckendorf Texas Wildlife book. The original was an acrylic painting on canvas (1992) and the size is approximately 14 X 11 inches. The total edition size of this print is 500.

Beckendorf color reproductions are developed using four color process printing on fine white paper. This advanced technique utilizes separate color plates for each of the primary colors, plus black. High-resolution digital scans and special process inks are utilized to yield beautiful, accurate reproductions.
About the Artist - Charles Beckendorf
Charles grew up in Mathis, Texas, where he had the opportunity to spend hours on large ranches. Generous land owners gave him permission to wander freely over their ranches and he observed creatures in their natural surroundings. He developed a lifelong love of nature, whether it be in the tiniest of flowers or the largest of animals. It was at this time that he became a true naturalist.
