This study was carried out to determine the biometric parameters and intrarenal segmentation of the renal arteries of kidney in the Red fox (Vulpes Vulpes Leinnoleus 1758). Corrosion cast method was applied to fourteen kidneys. It was found that the means for diameter of the aorta abdominalis, arteria renalis dextra and arteria renalis sinistra were 6.09 mm, 2.45 mm and 1.94 mm, respectively. Arteria renalis dextra was longer than the left artery. The renal arteries were divided into the dorsal and ventral branches. Both dorsal and ventral branches gave off the arteria interlobaris, arteria arcuata and arteria interlobularis, respectively. The right dorsal branch gave off 6 to 7 segmental arteries, the right ventral branch 5 to 7 segmental arteries, the left dorsal branch 6 to 8 segmental arteries and the left ventral branch 4 to 7 segmental arteries. Double renal arteries were determined in 3 of 10 (30%) kidneys but only on the left side. As a result, arterial vascularization of red fox kidneys was examined and similarities and differences with other animal species were determined.
