How do foxes survive in the fall?

Asked by Wiki User

1) The red fox have sharp claws that dig their dens and or help to dig into the ground to bury their food. These claws also serve to kill their prey.

2) They have sharp teeth which help them to shred and tear their food, which is meat since they are carnivores.

3) Their long legs (compared to body and head size) are good for running quickly while chasing prey.

4) When being chased the red fox will vomit so that they can run faster. By vomiting they empty their stomachs which make them lighter and more agile.

5) They have a very good sense of hearing, smell, and sight, which warns them if danger is coming.

What US nickel is worth a lot of money?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many older US nickels can be worth $1000 or more depending on their condition, including most shield and Liberty nickels along with a few buffalo nickels with minting errors.

However you're probably thinking of the absolute champion, the iconic 1913 Liberty Head nickel. Only five of these coins were minted, and auction prices have been from one to over five million dollars.

More

In early 1913 design work for the new Indian Head nickel was behind schedule so the Mint had 1913-dated Liberty Head dies prepared as a stopgap, but didn't authorize their use pending a draw-down of existing stocks of 1912 and earlier nickels. During that hiatus a few Mint employees surreptitiously used the new dies to strike five coins with the 1913 date.

Because the coins were made on Mint premises by Mint employees using official dies, they're considered to be unauthorized strikes rather than counterfeits or patterns. Regardless of terminology the five 1913 Liberty Head nickels rank with the 1804 dollar and 1933 double-eagle as classic American rarities.

Why do foxes have long tales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, foxes ARE pretty sharp and cunning. Æsop used foxes in his Fables, so the fox has been in literature and folk tales and associated with slyness for many centuries. My Dad saw a fox once backing into a small river in Scotland. The fox had something white in his mouth and let it go when only his nose was above the surface, then climbed out on the opposite back, shook himself and took off. My Dad fished the white thing out and discovered it was a piece of sheep's wool and it was alive with fleas... Clever fox!

Life cycle of an arctic fox?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The gray fox mates in February or March, bearing young in April or May -- a gestation period of about 51 days. The 3 to 7 pups are dark brown in color; they are born blind and remain so for about 10 days. The young venture out of the den after about 5 weeks, and are usually weaned by 10 weeks. The father provides food for the entire family during this period. The family remains together until late fall, then separates. All foxes generally remain solitary throughout the winter.

Can dogs safely eat dry cat food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

not very

Processed dog food doesn't contain the amino acid taurine, which is necessary for healthy eye development in cats, so a cat should never be fed exclusively on dry dog food.

There is debate, though, over whether dogs can eat dry cat food exclusively; the cat food is higher in protein, and there are a few other factors involved, but if you have a dog and cat living together with you, you can safely let them eat from the same bowl of dry cat food; this is convenient and means both animals will - if the food is kept topped up and made constantly available - simply regulate their own diets in a healthy manner.

Feeding them in this way will avoid friction and stress, which is a good outcome for all of you. Wash the bowls regularly.

Both animals can share a fresh water bowl which should be kept in the shade if outdoors; cats should never be given milk, for digestive reasons, and it's best avoided for dogs, too, because of hygiene concerns.

They can be given separate extras: dogs and cats given the same food leftovers will eat differently, dogs eating most of it and cats eating only small parts. Both animals can have a bone once or twice a week, given separately (!) and of suitable sizes.

Sweet treats, and fatty foods, are out.

I've raised both cats and dogs for many years in this way; they've all lived well into their normal lifespans and maintained a healthy weight and general wellbeing throughout their lives.

Why are foxes carnivores?

Foxes, while their diet consists primarily of animal prey, are considered as omnivores as they eat plants also. During the fruiting season for berries the fox may feed exclusively on these.

Is a fox a cannibal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES, a fox WILL eat another dead fox. It has been reported by naturalists and proven in scientific studies of feces and stomach contents. I can personally attest to the fact since I have seen a very young fox eating an adult fox carcass. Considering the condition of the young fox, I suspect it was very hungry and the carcass could well have been it's own mother as we live near a busy highway resulting in many fox injuries and fatalities.

What kind of animals are a tertiary consumers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A tertiary consumer is an organism that eats secondary consumers. An example of this would be shark. The shark could be a tertiary consumer because the shark eats a fish which eats zooplankton which eat phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is the primary producer, the zooplankton is the primary consumer, the fish is the secondary consumer which makes the shark the tertiary consumer.
