Foxes have very sharp teeth and claws, which they use to attack their enemies. They also have a scent gland on top of their tails which emit a fishy musk at their foes.
with their teeth .
A fox has very sharp canine teeth that can easily cut through flesh. They also have a scent gland on top of their tail near the base which emits a fishy musk when they are frightened. When a fox fights another animal, they will keep their mouth open to show their teeth and make a sound called "gekkering", which sounds sort of like a choking/barking sound.
