{{unref}}
'''Foxaroos''' are the [[hybrid|hybridization]] of [[foxes]] and [[kangaroo]]s. Foxes (Canidae) and kangaroos (Macropodidae) cannot successfully interbreed in nature and thus this species cannot exist in the real world.

The Foxaroo exists primarily within the [[furry]] community as a mix of two familiar species (fox and kangaroo) to be used by some as a [[fursona]]. A foxaroo can show physical characteristics of both a fox and a kangaroo, depending on which side is more dominant, and also depending on which species within the fox and kangaroo families the individual is based upon. For example a hybrid of a [[Wikipedia:Red fox|red fox]] and [[Wikipedia:Red Kangaroo|red kangaroo]] will have different features to a hybrid of an [[Wikipedia:arctic fox|arctic fox]] and a [[Wikipedia:Eastern grey kangaroo|grey kangaroo]].

Hello there,

I registered with Wikifur because I wanted to communicate an error I noticed on the page for kangaroos:
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Kangaroo

The page contains a photograph with the following text below it:
"An Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) - Gender:Male - laying on right side, head toward viewer, looking away"

The kangaroo in the foreground is not an eastern grey but a red kangaroo, you can tell by the distinctive fur pattern around the nose. I'm not able to determine his or her gender from this angle, but the individual is most likely a female, commonly known as a "blue flyer." There is a very distinct sexual dimorphism in red kangaroos in that the males have an orange-red coat while the females have fur that is soft bluish grey. The red colouring is influenced by hormone levels, as alpha male reds generally have the most distinctly orange-red fur. Males who are socially repressed or have been surgically desexed will often be lacking the red colour in their fur (when I performed volunteer work at a wildlife sanctuary they had a desexed male red whose fur was completely pale white, until the day he passed away from illness). I've also been told, though I have not seen this myself, of a group of all female red kangaroos where a socially dominant female began to exhibit a slight redding of her fur due to her social status.

I merely wanted to request that either the description or the photograph itself be amended, but I couldnt' find a "contact us" link or its equivalent.
