According to W:pedia,

The _kit_ fox (Vulpes macrotis) is a fox species of North America. Its
range is primarily in the southwestern United States and northern and
central Mexico. Some mammalogists classify it as conspecific with the
swift fox, V. velox, but molecular systematics imply that the two
species are distinct.
