Red Foxes
Found commonly worldwide in many different habitats, the Red Fox is a species of canine that is highly adaptable to different environments. One way to help it to survive is its diet, which contains a variety of food, from hares to carrion and rodents to earthworms. In this category, there are questions about the Red Fox’s appearance, adaptation, social unit, etc.

What energy roles does a red fox play?
Red foxes play essential roles in their ecosystems as both predators and prey. As predators, they help control populations of small mammals, birds, and insects, contributing to ecological balance. Additionally, they serve as prey for larger carnivores, integrating them into the food web. Their foraging behavior also aids in seed dispersal, promoting plant diversity and ecosystem health.
Yes, most canines have some type of den. The cross fox is only a color variation of the red fox.
What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by a pendulum clock made of iron bar?
I think you're saying that the pendulum itself is an iron bar.
-- The period of the swing is determined by the pendulum's length. Whether the pendulum
is a long distributed mass, or just all one lump down at the end, its effective length in
either case is the distance from the pivot to its center of mass.
-- Rising temperature makes the iron bar longer, but doesn't change its mass. So its
center of mass becomes farther from the pivot, and its period of swing increases.
-- So higher temperature would make the clock run slower.
This sounds like an elegant way to detect small differences in local gravity at different
places. I don't know for a fact, but I'll just bet that this is how it's actually done, with
a portable instrument based on a pendulum-regulated timekeeping device.
Yes, most of the animals are a type of prey for larger animals.
The red fox primarily feeds on small rodents like voles, mice, ground squirrels, hamsters, gerbils, woodchucks, pocket gophers and deer mice. Secondary prey species include birds leporids, porcupines, raccoons, opossums, reptiles, insects, other invertebrates and flotsam (marine mammals, fish and echinoderms). On very rare occasions, foxes may attack young or small ungulates. Red foxes readily eat plant material, and in some areas fruit can amount to 100% of their diet in autumn. Commonly consumed fruits include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, persimmons, mulberries, apples, plums, grapes, and acorns. Other plant material includes grasses, sedges and tubers.
What damage does the red fox cause?
In its native habitat the red fox causes little damage except to occasionally taking a chicken or duck for a meal. The blame for that falls mostly on the owner who failed to keep his birds safe. In Australia the red fox was introduced by man and is causing extensive damage to native wildlife species because the fox has few, if any, natural predators to control its population. Once again, the blame falls on man for his stupidity of introducing a non-native species with little forethought to the possible consequences.
Is feral hearts server up now?
No, it will in Febuary. Feral Hearts is keeping the servers down for now because it just came out and they don't want the servers overwhelmed with players.
Foxes are a major carrier for rabies, a deadly incurable dease.
foxes cant run that fast because they dont really need to run that fast foxes have ons and offs like if they are running after prey its 39 mph but if they are running from predator its 33 mph because everytyme i look at this website on foxes and it says top speed is 39 mph i dont think foxes need to run that fast anyways but my favorite animal in the whole wide world is JAGUAR!!
They are red ,orange (oh yea this is 2009 just for the future how long it's been on the website).
Generally, no, foxes are not a threat. They tend to keep away from humans and other animals, but generally foxes that live in urban areas will sometimes get into gardens or people's garbage. That's probably the biggest threat they pose.
