Fox
Fox
Red fox in long grass. A reddish brown colour, with large eyes and ears, and a white chest and belly. Red Foxes are omnivorous, eating mostly rodents, insects and fruit. They have a characteristic way of hunting. The fox stands motionless, listening and watching for its prey and then leaps high into the air, bringing its forelimbs down straight and pinning its prey to the ground. Red foxes live solitary lives. Individuals will occupy home ranges of various sizes depending on the quality of the habitat. These ranges will be inhabited by one adult male and two adult female with their associated young. Individuals and family groups live in dens, the same den often being used by a number of successive generations. Once the pups are mature they move into their own territory, but they remain in the same home range for life.
