Tell me about foxes?

Question

Have you met one? Do you like them?

Answer 1

Hello "cucumis_sativus",

Well, all I know about foxes is that they belong to the K9 group, their great survivers, and they eat small game and berries. They are shy and usually flee once they meet a human. They also have beautiful coats that help them in warmth, and camoflauge. They are mostly all wild animals that usually live in wooded areas but some like gray foxes live in the desert. Yes, I have met one in the wild and I must say that they look really cool! I like them and hope you do as well. Here is a link to a site about foxes if you need it:

Respectfully,

A fox is a member of any of 27 species of small omnivorous canids. The animal most commonly called a fox in the Western world is the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), although different species of foxes can be found on almost every continent. The presence of foxes all over the globe has led to their appearance in the popular culture and folklore of many nations, tribes, and other cultural groups.

Fox terminology is different from that used for most canids. Male foxes are known as dogs, tods or reynard, females are referred to as vixens, and their young are called kits or cubs, as well as pups. A group of foxes is a skulk.

General characteristics
Most foxes live 2–3 years but can survive for up to 10 years, or longer in captivity. With most species roughly the size of a domestic cat, foxes are smaller than other members of the family Canidae, such as wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs. Recognizable characteristics also include pointed muzzles and bushy tails. Other physical characteristics vary according to their habitat. For example, the Desert Fox has large ears and short fur, whereas the Arctic Fox has small ears and thick, insulating fur.

Unlike many canids, foxes are usually not pack animals. Typically, they are solitary, opportunistic feeders that hunt live prey (especially rodents). Using a pouncing technique practiced from an early age, they are usually able to kill their prey quickly. Foxes also gather a wide variety of other foods ranging from grasshoppers to fruit and berries.

Foxes are normally extremely wary of humans and are not kept as pets, although the Silver Fox was successfully domesticated in Russia after a 45 year selective breeding program.

However, foxes are to be readily found in cities and domestic gardens.

Answer 4

Foxes are very intelligent, good survivors, but are getting crowded out of their habitat by urban sprawl. I've not had the pleasure to meet one face to face, but I've seen them, mostly at night, while driving along rural roads.

On the morning my wife and I were returning from the hospital with our first born, we hit a female grey fox. In retrospect, I think it was more like Canis rufus, and perhaps a hybrid.

Yes, I like them. They seem resourceful, intelligent, even wise.

Answer 5

I have a red fox that visits all the time, she comes & collects all the rodents caught in the rat trap I put out for him. In the spring mom & dad fox showed up with 4 kits & played in my yard all day, then one of the cottager from down @ the lake speeds down our road & kills 1 of the kits. "sad" "eh" Well I took it off the road & buried it. I hate people that have no respect for anyone but their own needs.

Answer 6

i've seen them dash across the road a couple times, but generally they're very shy, wild dogs that may forage in our yards and litter bins, but don't stick around for human company all that much.

the typical cartoon representation is pretty far from the truth :)
