The swift fox has a dark, grayish, tan coloration that extends to a yellowish tan color across its sides and legs. The throat, chest, and belly range from pale yellow to white in color. Its tail is black-tipped, and it has black patches on its muzzle. Its ears are noticeably large, like those of the [[kit fox]], although slightly farther apart than on the head of the latter. It is about 12&nbsp;inches (30&nbsp;cm) in height, and 31&nbsp;inches (79&nbsp;cm) long, measuring from the head to the tip of the tail, or about the size of a domestic cat. Its weight ranges from around five to seven pounds.<ref name="DoW">{{cite web|url=http://www.defenders.org/wildlife_and_habitat/wildlife/swift_fox.php|title=Swift fox – Defenders of Wildlife|author=Defenders of Wildlife|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070804235808/https://defenders.org/wildlife_and_habitat/wildlife/swift_fox.php|archive-date=2007-08-04|access-date=2008-04-21}}</ref> Males and females are similar in appearance, although males are slightly larger.<ref name="ADW">{{cite web|url = https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Vulpes_velox/ |author=Resmer, Karen|title=Vulpes velox|website=[[Animal Diversity Web]] |access-date=2008-04-17}}</ref>
