p.1 #1 · Fox in Denali

Took a bus tour into Denali NP last summer. Ran across this guy near one of the rest stops. Just had time to snap a couple of pictures before others ran up and scared him off. Not sure if this is an artic fox or some other kind.

p.1 #2 · Fox in Denali

I have never seen a fox with a mane like that. So I decided to take a closer look for what type it is. From what I didn't find I can only conclude that it is possible that your pic is not a fox but something else altogether or a crossbreed with some other canine species. Here is a list of the fox varieties I did find pics of that don't match your pic.

Arctic fox
Argentine grey fox
Azara's fox
Bat-eared fox
Blanford's fox
Cape fox
Colpeo fox
Corsac fox
Crab-eating fox
Darwin's fox
Fennec fox
Grey fox
Hoary fox
Indian fox
Kit fox
Pale fox
Red fox
Ruppell's fox
Sechuran fox
Swift fox
Tibetan fox

Google Cross Fox. This might fit the bill.

Thanks all for the comments and the ID help. Does look like the Cross fox to me.
