Red Foxes

As burrowing animals, they are known to dig tunnels fifteen feet or more in which two to five pups are reared

how do a red fox adapt to live in a woodland.

A Red fox has a ruddy brown coat that makes it difficult to see near its den because it is similar in colour to the earth in winter, spring, Autumn and summer. Its claws are well adapted for digging.

They have speed to catch their prey, they also have thir ears which can listen out for prey. So they are good at catching food. That is why they are adapted to the environment.

fox usually live in family groups, including one pair and their youngest litter. They breed from late December to early January. Gestation is about 50 days, and 3-6 pups (or kits) are born in each litter. At birth, the pups have very thin fur, and their eyes and ears are closed. They stay in a burrow for most of the spring. In early summer, they begin hunting with their parents. They can breed when they are one year old. They can live up to 10 years, but most wild swift fox only live 3-4 years.

The European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), has a colour ranging from pale to dark russet. There are many other species of fox. The Arctic fox has a white coat in winter and a greyish coat in summer.

A fox is a warm blooded animal.

Most mammals are warm blooded because they have a higher blood temperature and maintain thermal homeostasis through the metabolic process.

Most breeders keep it in the $400-$600 range is what I've gathered from my research.

But please, if you are considering getting a fox as a pet, do your homework. First, make sure it is legal to own one in your state/city. Some places have bans on the animals as pets. Second, do all the research you can on these animals AS pets. Talk to breeders and owners, and find out whether a fox is right for you. NEVER buy an animal just because you think it's cool or cute. Foxes are a handful, MUCH harder than any dog or cat.

Remember Just because you want a fox, doesn't mean you are right for it.

The red fox is widespread in the northern hemisphere and has been around since before australopithecenes evolved into the early genuses of homo. So in a sense it's more likely that they discovered us!

Red foxes live in forests or temperate biomes. in the mountans
a red fox perfers spararsely settled rolling farms areas with wooded tracks marshes and streams.

No, it is not currently legal to own the Red Fox in TN, as it is a protected species. However there is legislation being worked on currently (6-2012) and being pushed through the houses to change this.

As their natural habitat is destroyed, they become further threatened. The idea of allowing them to be kept in order to maintain their population numbers, even if it's in captivity has been raised, so it may be legal in the near future.

All wild mammals can be dangerous. They are not pets.

yes they can hide in leaves during fall

no because in the day people might want to take a walk in the grasslands and then they might come across a red fox and killl it , hurt it or scare it so most foxes like to sleep in the day and wherever they are they will always try to disguise its self.

Because of their varied diet, red foxes are hard to be classified within a trophic level.

an adult is to big for a red fox to kill but maybey an old,sick,weak,ingured,or a fawn or young adult might be good bait for a red fox

In winter, the red fox is most active. It is the breeding season.

it is one of the fastest animals in the prairie it can run up to 70 miles per hour that's the only adaption it realy has other thens it is very fearce

shy
it is adorable with a tail that is bushy and called a brush and desert foxes much paler with larger ears and an Arctic fox turns white in winter to blend in with the snow and go onto girlsense and join for free and then go to delenayelly btq

mine where killed last night, two bunnies escaped, we heard the noise of the foxes but were too late, they left them after we disturbed them, there heads were off, i have been told, they grap them and shake them to break there neck, sick ah, but its nature.

this depends on where a gray wolf lives, as the species are not restricted to just one biome. I do not know every plant, but for the gray wolves that live in the southern region of Alaska I know there is

-aspens

-sycamores

-grass

-cat tails

-wild roses

-berries (black berries, rasberries, blue berries, and miners mint)

and even more then that

This species is from Eurasia, which it originates from.

A Fox needs a lot of water to survive if it doesn't then it is going to die.A white Fox is the animal that likes to eat humans or meat and animals so stay away from it.

It was endangered a long time ago because in the 1800's the red fox was considered pests to people. So they poisoned their food sources, trapped then, and hunted them in vast amounts. Also around 1900, many where killed accidentally from predator control programs that where aimed at removing (killing) wolves, coyotes and ground squirrels from the prairies. Today people still hunt them and trap them for their furs. Also they hunt them for the skill it takes to kill one because they are very clever and good at escaping predators.

Yes. I saw one along the Schuylkill River near Conshohocken a few days ago. The only one I have ever seen. I have seen hundreds of Red Foxes.
