An adult Blanford’s fox (Vulpes cana) on average weights 994 grams (2.19 lbs).
The Blanford’s fox is from the family Canidae (genus: Vulpes). It is usually born with about 29 grams (0.06 lbs). They can live for up to 10 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 42.7 cm (1′ 5″). Usually, Blanford’s foxs have 2 babies per litter.
