Description

The fox, a small omnivorous mama, is a member of the family Canidae, like the coyote and the wolf. Of the four species found in Canada - red, swift, grey and Arctic - the red fox is the largest and most common. There are three main colour morphs of red fox - red, cross and black or silver. Generally nocturnal, skittish and jumpy, the fox seems quite at ease in Prince Edward Island, where it is seen day and night, in town and country, in yards and on golf courses.

The province is also home to many black, or silver, foxes, so called because their black hairs are more or less silver-tipped. Through the first half of the 20th century, fox farming on P.E,I, flourished, as fox pelts were in high demand the world over. Silver foxes are featured on the provincial coat of arms due to their historical significance.

This mosaïculture artwork was developed in collaboration with the City of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
