Among 4 species of fox in Iran, Branford's fox is the smallest one. The previous studies on this species are limited and not significant. Therefore we researched the main factors that affect its distribution and its potential distribution throughout Iran using MAXENT modeling based on the presence data. The presence data gathered from camera trap pictures and some of the incidental observations and also several environmental variables including climatic, topographic and manmade were used for modeling. The output model indicates that rainfall in the coldest season; slope and daily temperature mean are the 3 variables that respectively have the most impact on Branford's fox distribution in Iran. Moreover 64787.5 km2 of Iran, mainly in the central region, is assumed as suitable habitat for Branford's fox.
