How can the crystal foxes in The Last Jedi be living?
They're made of minerals and crystals, as far as we can see, so what holds them together? Is it the Force?

Star Wars doesn't abide by our understanding of physics and our definition of what makes a 'living creature'. That is the 'fiction' part in 'science-fiction'.

@Sava also, Star Wars is more fantasy than sci-fi. There isn't an attempt at science in most of the additions to the world.

I don't know the canonical answer, but flesh-and-blood creatures can have crystals growing off of their fur.
This is an image of a furry animal with ice crystals growing off of its fur:
It lives on a planet where it rains both liquid and crystal water, depending on temperature.

It seems likely that the pictured hydrogen hydroxide crystals grew in the atmosphere of said planet and then 'rained' onto the pictured animal already in crystalline form. It is, however, possible on this same planet for liquid hydrogen hydroxide to fall from the sky and immediately crystallize onto whatever it hits on the surface - including animal fur - though, so +1. Also, the latter phenomenon can be highly unpleasant in large quantities, particularly when it crystallizes onto road surfaces and leaves and limbs of very tall plant life.

You might wish to note that this answer isn't especially accurate. The Vulptex has crystal fur, not fur coated with crystals.

@Valorum My point was that the way they render the animal has little to do with how the animals' in-universe biology is supposed to work. Again, unless they ever say that they're trying to mimic the biology, and not just building a 3D model, which I didn't notice.

The very short answer is that the outer "fur" of the Vulptex is crystalline, but the inner part of the animal seems to be mere flesh and blood. The film's
Visual Dictionary indicates that over time the animals have evolved to take advantage of their surroundings (and abundance of crystal salts) but there's no good indication that their physiology defies logic, any more than a snail does because it has an integument made from metal carbonate.
But no, it wasn’t his imagination. There really were animals back there—dozens of them. They were small—not much higher than a person’s knee, with long, pointy ears and drooping whiskers framing their faces. Their bodies glittered in the transports’ lights, and Poe realized what he’d thought was fur was actually a dense covering of crystal bristles. When the creatures moved, their fur made a sound that reminded him of the wind chimes of distant Pamarthe.

They were small—not much higher than a person’s knee, with long, pointy ears and drooping whiskers framing their faces. Their bodies glittered in the transports’ lights, and Poe realized what he’d thought was fur was actually a dense covering of crystal bristles. When the creatures moved, their fur made a sound that reminded him of the wind chimes of distant Pamarthe.

Star Wars doesn't abide by our understanding of physics and our definition of what makes a 'living creature'. That is the 'fiction' part in 'science-fiction'.

@Sava also, Star Wars is more fantasy than sci-fi. There isn't an attempt at science in most of the additions to the world.

@Sava: I for one am shocked at the biological inaccuracies in these movies about magical space wizards.

@Centimane Not to mention the tropes and themes: rescuing the princess, one on one battles, mystical magic, heroes and villains, etc. All very fantasy-like.
