Red Foxes

No. Most (not all) marsupials have a pouch, but not the platypus. It is one of the egg laying mammals, or monotremes. The mother platypus curls up around the eggs to incubate them, and after they are hatched, she tends them in a chamber at the end of her burrow.

Having said that, however, the platypus's fellow monotreme, the echidna, does develop a flap of skin during breeding season which functions as a pouch.

Red foxes have:

Long teeth- so it's easy to tear an animal's flesh.

Sharp claws - so they can dig their dens, bury food or kill prey.

Long legs - so they can run fast to hunt prey.

Good sense of smell, sight and hearing - so they can find prey easier.

They also vomit to empty their stomachs so they become lighter and run faster.

Red foxes are the largest fox species in size, and vary in shade from black to silver to deep red-brown. They possess two cat-like features : a long bushy tail for balancing in jumping, and vertical slits in their eye pupils (which do not necessarily improve vision)/

Because hunters are killing the red wolf for its beautiful coat of fur to sell for a profit to fur traders.

We have a family of fox living in our backyard... and have had zero problems with them. Our dog doesn't like being tied up though, she is a bassett hound and she is tied up to protect the babies. Our kids and ourselves have been in the yard when they are out and they don't run from us but they keep a safe distance. I have no fear of these animals hurting us because they are healthy and keep the rodent population down.

CATS No...highly unlikely...foxes will investigate cats but generally back down when they realize they're in for a fight. I've personally witnessed a very small (but very brave) mother cat fend off two foxes who were taking an interest in her kittens. My experience with the 'Cat V. Fox' situation is extensive and firsthand.

It occured over several years in Adelaide - South Australia. The cats were domestic. The foxes were feral. Both were sharing a surburban environment. These animals came into contact on a weekly (probably daily) basis...and as far as I know, I never lost a cat to a fox. Just remember that it's quite a task to catch a cat (especially around trees) ...let alone trying to kill one that is fighting for its life. I must concede however, that it is still possible...but as I said...highly unlikely.

In captivity, their longevity can be as long as 15 years, though in the wild they typically do not survive past 5 years of age.

Distributed throughout the northern hemisphere from the Arctic Circle in the north, as far south as north Africa, including much of North America, all of Europe and most of Asia, including Japan. They are found practically everywhere in mainland Britain, as well as on many islands.

There are many animals that are being killed off or over hunted to the point of being extinct. The pre-breeding population of the red fox is estimated to be 258,000 in some areas of the world.

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.

During the mating season, fox adults have baby foxes that live and grow up to be like their parents, so because of this, the fox species eat meat from smaller animals such as rabbits, rats, and sometimes bigger animals if they get lucky, like zebra and deer after the lions enjoy and become completely full enough. Mainly they eat meat because they are unlikely to be vegetarians.

All foxes pant and some raise their ears in-order to cool-down.

The red fox, to most civilians, is nothing more than a parasite that just happen to be here. The red fox preys on smaller animals that we hate or find a great nuisance Plus, it's not their fault they roan neighborhoods. Humans are moving them off their land. In conclusion, they have no where to go or they get killed by a man.

It means that they do not want other foxes to come into their home or area.

Red foxes are only considered invasive in Australia where they were introduced from Europe by early settlers. They are not natives of Australia and have no natural enemies there. The population exploded and the red fox started to decimate local native wildlife populations..

Their fur gets longer and thicker, giving them warmth during winter and during the warm seasons, they shed fur and start growing them in fall so they can have it fully grown by winter.

No, Gray Foxes do not bury their scat.

Predation on native species and competition with native carnivores such as the quoll. Incidentally, fox numbers have increased markedly in recent years thanks in part to animal rights activists attacking furriers and animal skin wearers, vastly reducing the value of Australian skins (which were amongst the best in the world, and not affected by rabies). So few are shot now, the skin price barely covers the cost of fuel and ammunition. So we can thank animal libbers and anti-gun activists for the continued demise of many Australian species.

The fox was always absent from Tasmania, having never been introduced there, but it appears that in recent times foxes have found their way to the island state, most likely with human intervention.

That depends on what you describe as fast. Their top running speed is about 48km/h.

No. It only eats meat. It's a carnivore.
Yes it is an omnivore.
no it,s a carnivore
Yes.
Yes a red fox is an omnivore so they eat both meat and plants like humans unless a human is a vegetarian!
