At birth- three weeks, kits nurse every two-three hours. 3 weeks to around 5 weeks, they eat four-five times a day.
Where do north American foxes live?
At a guess, I'd say North America... :-)
Sorry, can't specify, I'm not American
Most snakes are too small to kill an animal the size of a fox. Only pythons or boas could possibly eat a fox.
What kind of consumer is a fox?
A fox is a secondary or tertiary consumer. This means that the fox is omnivorous and eats plants and the animals that eat plants.
They arent't, but people say they are because they kill chickens, but with the 95% being factory farmed I don't see the problem! Foxes are natural predators and need food to survive, so all you hunters out there I want to see you hunt with no defences, a deer. Just your bare hands and teeth.
Why do foxes have pointed ears?
When a fox's ears move forward, just like when dogs move their ears forward, they're attempting to focus all of their ears to one spot. This helps them hear faint sounds, which for foxes mostly helps in hunting the small, skittish animals that make up their diet.
The Island fox (Urocyon littoralis) is also known as the Coast Fox is the smallest
The red fox is the largest
Meaning of secondary key with examples?
An attribute or set of attributes that is basis for retrieval is known as secondary key
for example, address in student table can be used to display all students who are living in a particular city. in this case, address will be used as secondary key
Why are scent glands important to foxes?
Foxes use the scent gland to mark their territory to warn other foxes of their presence.
Foxes and some other carnivores eat grass as a source of dietary fiber, to maintain bulk in their digestive systems. Undigested fiber acts as a laxative to promote movement in the bowel.
If these foxes are actually humans who would like to think they're anthropomorphic foxes, or furries, humans may kill them, but not eat them. That would be cannibalism, for in fact these are nothing but sexually confused teenagers.
If these foxes are in fact real foxes, a human could eat one of he felt like it, although it's not a common act.
Do foxes live in Killynether Woods or Scrabo County Park?
A fox lives in the woods and on lower parts of mountains :). :p
Red foxes live in most of Asia, Europe, and in the northern parts of North America. Gray foxes live in most of the United States, Mexico, Central America, and in parts of South America. Foxes are found in farmlands and forests, deserts, burrows, the prairies and in wooded areas of some cities. They live in family groups while they are young. Adults live alone or in pairs. Foxes do not live in packs like wolves do. Foxes live in dens during the winter. The den may be underground, in caves, among rocks, or in hollow logs or trees. Grey foxes can be almost squirrel-like in their ability to climb trees, and have been known to live in expropriated squirrels' nests as high as 25 feet off the ground.
the red fox lives in urban places or in the country side and woodland spaces they build burrows under ground for there family to sleep in
around the world, they make houses in the snow and dirt as burrows.
What do the fox in the forest?
Foxes live in an under ground burrow called a den. It is much like a rabbits hole with two openings for escaping. But a fox's den can be in the side of a hill, mountain, or cliff.
Red foxes are not dangerous to humans, although, like any wild animal, it is important to give it enough space. It does have sharp teeth, and if it feels like you are attacking it, a fox could bite you (although the injuries would not be life threatening).
Should hunting be against the law?
First off, it would help to know what you are referring to: do you mean hunting animals in general, or hunting of game/trophy/pest animals, or hunting of a specific animal species?
I'll try to answer the general question here: should humans hunt animals? I'll restrict the answer to exclude fishing (which, technically, is a form of hunting) and whaling.
Those against hunting point out several problems that they feel make hunting wrong:
- Hunting is damaging to the animal species in question, because humans are both super-predators (we don't hunt for food, we hunt for enjoyment) and are generally very poor at managing their take. That is, even with government regulation, human hunting very often is far in excess of a "sustainable" amount, and regulations/quotas are often very slow to account for changing conditions. Thus, human hunting can rapidly decimate an animal population, even if that is not the intention.
- As humans do not need to hunt for food, hunting is done for pleasure. A sport which causes severe pain and death is immoral, and we should not encourage/allow such activities.
- Hunting in much of the world makes for ready access to firearms, which are problematic for many societies. That is, by making firearms legal and readily available for use in hunting, there are many bad side-effects from having such weapons in society.
- Similarly, weapons used in hunting are generally not well-regulated, and often make hunting nothing like a sport and closer to a slaughterhouse.
- Population control arguments for hunting are often specious, as if we allowed for proper predator populations, humans would not need to hunt. For example, deer are prey for wolves and puma, both of which humans have also hunted. If the wolf and puma hunting was disallowed, their populations would increase to one able to control the deer population.
Those in favor of hunting tend to make the following arguments:
- Until societies are willing to accept predators back into the ecosystem (and their attendant collateral damage to livestock and pets), many animal species have no population check other than food supply. Hunting allows for proper population control, without mass starvation.
- Hunting is a pass time older than the human race, and an important part of our racial culture. It provides a valuable learning experience for younger generations to be taught about nature and proper balance. With proper precautions, it can be done safely and humanely.
- Hunting is generally the fastest and most efficient way to control pest animal populations, and much less damaging to the environment than options such as toxic poisons or pesticides, and far more practical than traps.
- For a certain subset of the population, hunting does provide an important supplementary food source.
- Hunting creates considerable economic activity, generating significant revenue (via licensing) for environmental management programs that would not otherwise have these monies.
NO, without hunting animals would be overpopulated, like where i live they stopped hunting cougars with dogs and the cougars started to move into town because they are very territorial and there was way to many cougars for the mountains, this created a dangerous environment for the animals and the people
yes, because I saw one in council bluffs by Fairmont park.
