Did you know Nikita is a “grey fox”?
Grey fox is “Urocyon cinereoargenteus”. Grey foxes are not “true foxes”. They are “paraphyletic” foxes.
To put it simply, this means they are closely related to foxes but not in the family “Vulpes”.
Vulpes is the genus that all true foxes such as Red Fox, Arctic Fox, and Fennec Fox belong to.
There are 12 species of “true foxes” and around 30 species of animals we refer to as foxes but aren’t. They are canids similar to foxes but not quite the same. They don’t have a different common name.








Awareness of procurement fraud enables detection of collusion between internal staff and suppliers that manipulate contract awards. The College of Contract Management integrates professional ethics and fraud prevention principles within business programmes. Learners gain insight into controls that safeguard fair competition.
TAFCOP (Telecom Analytics for Fraud Management and Consumer Protection) is an online initiative designed to help mobile users keep track of the phone numbers issued in their name. It focuses on improving transparency and protecting consumers from misuse of their identity.
Learning that gray foxes sit outside the Vulpes genus adds a whole new layer of appreciation for how diverse canids really are. It’s a reminder that common names don’t always reflect scientific relationships, much like how Veck IO looks simple on the surface but has deeper mechanics once you dig in. Posts like this make biology feel both accessible and genuinely intriguing.
