Members of the Canidae family are called canid and include dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and lycaons. The Canidae family is divided into the "true dogs" (or canines) of the tribe Canini and the "foxes" of the tribe Vulpini. The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and don't fit into either tribe. Any member of this family can be referred to generally as a canid.

The most common fox is the red fox! I can't tell you off the top of my head how many there are, but there are somewhere between 20-25 individual species of foxes, as well as numerous subspecies. There are several debates as to whether some foxes are their own species or subspecies, so it all depends on who you ask. In North America alone, there are the red fox (which includes several subspecies in this and other countries as well as different color phases including marble, silver, etc), the gray fox, island fox (including 6 subspecies island fox living only off the California coast and highly endangered), arctic fox, swift, and kit fox (some say swift and kit are the same species). There are also many other species. To name a few we have: fennec, crab-eating fox, South American gray fox (completely different than our gray fox and thought to be extinct), bat-eared, culpeo, cape, small-eared dog, ruppell's, tibetan, indian, pale, darwin, the chilla, sechura, azaras, corsac, and I may be missing some. Also some people say that the maned wolf and raccoon dog are also considered foxes. There are "true foxes" of genus Vulpes, Urocyon, Otocyon, and Alopex.

When do baby foxes learn to walk?
Kits begin to walk and leave their dens and experiment with solid food brought by their parents at the age of 3–4 weeks.
No. Foxes do not fish. The diet of an adult fox includes small rodents, fruit, birds, eggs, insects and worms. Very young pups do not eat food. They nurse from the mother and feed on milk. When they are old enough, the mother will regurgitate predigested meat and feed it to the pups, so they can start to eat solid food even when they don't know how to catch their own prey. Once they are weaned from milk, they will leave the den and learn to live on their own, eating the diet of an adult.

Characteristics of a fox include a triangular face, bushy tail, pointed ears, and a long narrow muzzle. They live in small family groups instead of packs and they hunt live prey. The fox is wary of humans.
Male foxes are known as dogs, tods or reynards, females as vixens, and young as cubs, pups, or kits.
It all depends on the breed. Red foxes have a litter size that ranges from 4-6. Be more specific.

Coyotes eat carrion (dead) deer as well as hunted deer, and the Northwoods in Wisconsin has large deer herds. Hence, Northern Wisconsin is quite a fine habitat for Coyotes.

Man is their main predator, but lynxes, wolves, panthers, and bobcats are predators in the wild. For Arctic Foxes, it's mainly wolves and polar bears. Younger foxes have large predatory birds to worry about as well.

I believe so. After some internet research i think they can. In my town, there is a whole family of foxes, they look like a cross between a fox and a coyote. They seem dangerous at time, though.
