Vulpes corsac
The corsac fox is a small fox that lives in the steppes and semi-deserts of Central Asia. It has light fur, large ears, and long legs that help it run fast and hunt rodents.
The corsac fox differs from the common fox in smaller size, lighter fur, and long legs. It is important for nature because it controls the population of rodents in the steppes.
