South American fox South American fox The South American foxes ("Lycalopex"), commonly called "raposa" in Portuguese, or "zorro" in Spanish, are a genus of the family Canidae from South America. Despite their name, they are not true foxes, but are a unique canid genus related to wolves and jackals, which some somewhat resemble foxes due to convergent evolution. The South American gray fox, "Lycalopex griseus", is the most common species, and is known for its large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt. The oldest known fossils belonging to the genus were discovered in Chile, and date from 2.0 to 2.5 million years
James Fox was playwright Frederick Lonsdale. Like several members of the Fox family, he attended Harrow School. After leaving Harrow Fox took a short service commission in the Coldstream Guards. Fox first appeared on film in "The Miniver Story" in 1950. His other early film appearances were made under his birth name, William Fox. In 1962, Fox was working in a bank when Tony Richardson offered him a minor role in the film "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner". Fox's father attempted to forbid this, claiming that his son had no talent for acting and that it would disrupt his life
