What states do red foxes live in?
Today, the red fox has a range spanning most of North America and Eurasia, southern Australia, and with several populations in North Africa. In Australia the red fox is an introduced species and a conservation problem. Introduction occurred about 1850, for recreational fox hunting, In North America the red fox is native in boreal regions, introduced in temperate regions. There is a recent fossil record of Red foxes in boreal North America, and one subspecies of these native boreal foxes extends south in the Rocky Mountains. In temperate North America, Red foxes are derived from European Red foxes, which were introduced into the Southeastern United States around 1650-1750 for fox hunting, and from there to California for the fur trade. The first introduction is attributed to Robert Brooke, Sr., who is said to have imported 24 Red foxes from England. The introduced European Red fox may have interbred with the scarce indigenous population to produce a hybrid population. Three subspecies of Red fox are found in India: Vulpes vulpes montana (the Tibetan Red fox), found in Ladakh and the Himalayas, Vulpes vulpes griffithi (the Kashmir Fox) found in Jammu and Kashmir less the Ladakh sector, and Vulpes vulpes pusilla (the Desert Fox) found in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan and in Kutch, Gujarat. A subspecies, the Japanese Red fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica) migrated from India to China and eventually to Japan.

Do red foxes bite people and if so why?
They can... the wild ones usually do in fear of attack, thus the reaction is to bite
The domesticated/ tamed ones (they do exist!) do it either because of this out of these reasons:
1. out of playfulness (lightly chewing on the persons hand)
2. out of fear (same as above)
3. they have been treated badly in the past by humans, so they, again, use self defence (refer to above)
4. they have a disease, such as rabies, to make them act like this, if so you'll want to take him to a vet that is willing to give a fox a rabies shot.
REMEMBER!!! they USUALLY DON'T DO THIS unless it's ONE OF THE ABOVE! So DON'T BE AFRAID!!! But DO BE CAUTIOUS OF THESE THINGS!!
