Rüppell's fox or Rueppell's fox (Vulpes rueppellii) is a species of fox living in North Africa, the Middle East, and southwestern Asia. It is named after the German naturalist Eduard Rüppell. This fox is also called the sand fox, but this terminology is confusing because the corsac fox (Vulpes corsac) and the Tibetan sand fox (Vulpes ferrilata) are also known as "sand foxes". Order: Carnivora, Family: Canidae. Synonym: Vulpes rueppelli.
