Michigan DNR asking public to report sightings of gray foxes in the state

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is requesting public assistance to locate gray foxes in the state, as researchers seek to understand their distribution amid declining populations. The DNR emphasizes that gray foxes are elusive and encourages residents to report sightings, including images and videos, to aid conservation efforts. Gray foxes are described as having grizzled gray coats, black-tipped tails, and red coloration on the neck, chest, and legs.
