Foxes
Red foxes live in many diverse habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains, and deserts.
They adapt well to human environments such as farms, suburban areas, and even large communities.
The red fox’s resourcefulness has earned it a legendary reputation for intelligence and cunning.
The fox’s thick tail aids its balance, but it has other uses as well. A fox uses its tail (or “brush”) as a warm cover in cold weather and as a signal flag to communicate with other foxes.
Foxes also signal each other by making scent posts, urinating on trees or rocks to announce their presence.
Many people are concerned about foxes affected by mange. A scruffy looking fox is not necessarily an ill fox. When moulting in spring, foxes look quite rough, but this does not mean they are mangy.
They are typically found in woodland and open country, but their presence in urban areas is increasing. Red foxes are opportunist feeders and eat insects, earthworms, fruit, berries, wild birds, small mammals and scraps left by humans.
Red foxes are primarily active at dusk and night. They are solitary, but they very occasionally group together in a pack. Foxes forage alone in different parts of their territory, which may extend from 25 to 5,000 acres, depending on the habitat. They use faeces and urine to mark territories.
