Foxes and wolves are indeed related as they both come from the Canidae family, members of the biological family of carnivorous mammals that includes foxes, wolves, dogs, coyotes, jackals, etc. A member of this particular family is often referred to as a canid. The Canidae family is divided into two tribes, first you have the Canini (related to wolves), and then you have the Vulpini (related to foxes). The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and do not fit into either tribe. Almost all Canids are social animals that tend to live together in groups. Wolves can be found living together in even larger groups known as packs.
