Yes. Their hearing is about 12 times better than a human's hearing.

If your chickens are truly free range then about the only way to keep the fox away is to get a dog or trap the fox and relocate it far away.

You can also build a fenced area and not allow the chickens to roam the farmyard.

Yes, some foxes do Those who live in the Arctic do. Their fur is white during winter, to camouflage, and in Spring through Fall their fur is brownish to camouflage in the rocky places that they hunt for food.

Yes. The Tame Silver Fox is a breed of fox that descended from red foxes bred to be tame during an experiment. A group of people (I cannot remember the exact details) took some red foxes and kept them on a farm type facility, to see if they could be domesticated. They divided them into two groups, one that would have as little contact with humans as possible whilst still being monitored (to keep them wild), and another group that would have as much contact with humans as possible. Not only did they find that they could be domesticated, but they found that along with domestication their coat colour, for some reason, changed. They became silver, and some even became white with silver patches. They can now be bred and owned as pets.

The life span of a fennec fox has been recorded as up to 14 years in captivity. However, in the wild it is considerably less.

Darwin's fox of Chile is the rarest fox. Only about 300 of these animals are still surviving. They are the only fox species currently listed as endangered.

I just saw one in Cherryfield Maine! All black, no silvering/or grey - a white tip on tail. Shiny and beautiful!

The relationship of predator(fox) and prey(rabbit)

Because there is food in towns. Where you find people, you also find food and leftovers in bins and stuff that has been thrown away as rubbish, this is an easy food source for the foxes where if they lived in the countryside they'd have to hunt for their food which is a more difficult.

Foxes hear EXEPTIONALLY well. They can hear radio frequencies that are undetectable to the human ear and they can hear through many feet of solid concrete. For more fox info, email me on jimmyboi14@hotmail.co.uk
