The Bengal fox is a small wild dog that lives only in parts of South Asia, from Nepal's lowlands down to Bangladesh. It has pointy ears and a bushy tail like other foxes, but thrives in the dry grasslands and scrub forests of India and Pakistan.
- Its range stretches from eastern Pakistan to southeastern Bangladesh.
- This fox avoids dense forests, preferring open scrub and grasslands.
- Unlike some foxes, it doesn’t range into mountain habitats beyond foothills.
