WHAT IS A GROUP OF THREE FOXES CALLED?
Three foxes would likely be a father, mother, and a cub = a family of foxes.
Physically, foxes are comparible to dogs, wolves and coyotes. Being general, you could call foxes 'cousins' to other canids. Foxes have large, pointed ears, a long and bushy tail, and a pointed muzzle. Depending on the breed, foxes can be different colors. Red foxes can have a reddish-brown color or a black color, Fennec foxes have a sandy brown color, Arctic foxes are usually white in color, etc., etc.. Mentally, foxes are very smart. They are able to comprehend situations with a high level of intellegence, which is one reason people like to hunt them, which in my opinion is inhumane. In terms of their lifestyle, they are mostly independent, and they usually only live with breeding mates, maybe a litter mate, their kits, or a mixture of the bunch. They mostly live in dens that were made and abandoned by other animals, but they have been known to dig their own on rare occasions. Foxes live closer to humans than most people would think. They prefer open fields to forests.
Foxes are omnivores. The diet of foxes is largely made up of invertebrates and small mammals, reptiles (such as snakes), amphibians, scorpions, grasses, berries, fruit, fish, birds, eggs,dung beetles, insects and all other kinds of small animals. Many species are generalist predators, but some (such as the crab-eating fox) are more specialist. Most species of fox generally consume around 1 kg of food every day. Foxes cache excess food, burying it for later consumption, usually under leaves, snow, or soil.
This will depend upon which fox you are asking about. A red fox lives primarily in wooded areas with interspersed meadows and fields. An arctic fox lives north of the Arctic circle on the vast tundras.
The babies (otherwise known as offspring) are called "kits", many people call them "pups" wich is improper way of calling them, so call them "kits" next time you're talking about them!

Yes kit foxes are dangerous. Foxes are wild animals. Although they generally avoid people, when people get too close to them, foxes usually have a nasty temperament. People become tempted to approach kit foxes because they look cute and find out the hard way that they were dangerous.
In their native state, no. Bears are not found in Australia (the koala is not a bear), but wallabies are native to Australia.
Foxes have adapted to be able to see well at night, so they are able to hunt their prey when the sun goes down. They are also able to pounce on unsuspecting animals.

In dense urban areas like mine foxes can tend to rest during the day in many different gardens and behind sheds and when disturbed will make a quick dash for it. Many of times i look out into the garden to see a little nose poking out from the hegde. And if i need to go outside its a little rustle of the bush the knocking of the fence behind and their gone. Foxes with the luxury of lots of open wild land would generally have a den.
