Vulpes skinneri is a species of extinct fox in the genus Vulpes [1] from the early Pleistocene, identified based on fossil remains dated to about 2 million years ago. [2] The species is known from a single partial skeleton discovered in the Malapa Fossil Site at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in South Africa and is associated with the fossil hominin remains of Australopithecus ...
Bat-eared fox at Masai Mara National Reserve. The bat-eared fox (Otocyon megalotis) is a species of fox found on the African savanna. It is the only extant species of the genus Otocyon and an ancient canid species. Fossil records indicate this canid first appeared during the middle Pleistocene.

As of 2014, no flying fox fossils are known from before the Holocene. [10] Many flying foxes live in the tropics , where conditions for fossilization are poor. [ 29 ] Based on molecular evolution , flying foxes diverged from a common ancestor with Rousettus 28–18 million years ago [ 30 ] and from their sister taxa Neopteryx and Acerodon 6.6 ...
