The fox is not an animal which is heavily adapted to one environment or lifestyle, and this may be one of the secrets of its widespread success and its ability to survive in different environments. Like all carnivores it needs sharp senses, (sight, hearing and smell). It sees very well in low light. They are extremely good at pouncing accurately and have long back legs to facilitate this. They can run fast and have great stamina. They have adapted to the unpredictability of their food supply by caching stores of food.

What do foxes do during the winter?

I'm not really sure I understand what your question means, did you mean why or how? I'll take a guess at a general answer. Winter affects all animals by the cold weather, but native animals are adapted to it, so they grow thicker coats of fur or fatten up for winter to hibernate. Foxes don't hibernate, so they are one that grows thicker fur. More important effect is how the weather changes what foods are available. Lack of food, not temperature, is what sends most migratory animals south. Animals like foxes are predators that don't migrate and they eat mostly rodents and rabbits. Some rodents hibernate in the winter, so they are harder for foxes to find and deep snow might make hunting more difficult.
