The Cozumel Fox (Urocyon sp. nov.) is an unnamed species of fox which is apparently close to extinction or even already extinct. It is (or was until recently) found on the island of Cozumel, Mexico.[1] The Cozumel Fox, which has not been scientifically described to date, is a dwarf form like the Island Fox but slightly larger, being up to three-quarters the size of the Gray Fox.[2] It had been isolated on the island for at least 5000 - 13000 years, and probably far longer.
