No, foxes arent dangerous but if a nosy person tries to get close to their den they will growl, snarl and bark at you. They will also try to lead you away from the den, so I think humans should leave foxes alone.

Not usually unless they have rabies, a common disease in foxes/dogs.

Yes yes if they have rabies, feel threatened, or have cubs and feel that you're too close.

Neither if they're healthy. However, if a fox is rabid, it can go after cows or humans or both.

Foxes will only bite humans if the human is attempting to capture it or interfering in its activities. They generally try to avoid human contact.

Yes, a fox can bite humans but would not do so unless a human was trying to touch it or pick it up.
