摘要
The first Occurrence in New Brunswick of the Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), a threatened species in Canada, is documented based oil a 4.3 kg subadult male trapped in the southwestern corner of the province. This is an approximate range extension of 135 kin from the most northerly Maine Occurrence and may reflect a larger North American range expansion underway since 1930-40, perhaps in response to warming, climate.
