WHAT IS A FOX? Foxes live on large territories, which they mark by scent -- urine or musk from several glands on their body. In a town, foxes can also occupy a smaller territory or even accept other foxes in their territory. Foxes may share their territories with wolves and eagles, they sometimes even follow wolves to catch leftovers from their prey. Coyotes, however are avoided by foxes. Wolves, coyotes, lynx and eagles are his natural enemies and may kill him when they find him -- to save their own territories.

It is mostly found around the Arctic Circle, in icy regions of the tundra biome . The Arctic fox is a very small animal. It has a sort of cylinder body and a muzzled nose. Its body is all white, but it has a black nose and pink toenails. The Arctic fox has its own voice of yips and yaps. It usually waits for a big animal to kill something and pick at the leftovers. These foxes are also the main predators of birds. While they're eating, they'll lash out their paws to keep others away. Their white fur helps them hide from predators. Mating season begins in April, and babies are born in about May or June.

Its foot pads are also densely furred so that the animal can travel on the snow and ice hunting for prey. The arctic fox feeds on lemmings, voles, squirrels, birds, bird eggs, berries, fish and carrion. In the winter the fox will follow polar bears hoping to eat the bear's leftovers.

ONE of the smallest of the foxes is the kit fox ( Vulpes velox), sometimes called the swift fox and also the burrowing fox, getting the latter name for the ability and rapidity with which it digs the holes in the ground in which it lives. It is an inhabitant of the northwestern states and of the western Canadian provinces, covering the region from southeastern Nebraska northwest to British Columbia. Its length is about twenty inches, exclusive of the tail, which is about twelve inches long. The overhair is fine, the back is a pure gray, the sides yellow, and the under parts white. The ears are small and covered with hair and the soles are also hairy.

EXCEPT in South America and Australia, Foxes are distributed over all the great continents. There are known to be between twenty-five and thirty species. They differ from the dog family in the greater sharpness of the nose and the greater length and bushiness of the tail. The Red Fox of eastern North America is closely allied to the common Fox of Europe, and is regarded by many naturalists as only a variety of the common species, all opinion which is somewhat confirmed by the fact that no remains of the Red Fox have been found in the cave deposits, although remains of the Grey Fox have been. It is larger than the common Fox of Europe, the fur longer and softer, and the color more brilliant. It is said that it does not possess the wind of the English Fox.

Arctic foxes ( Alopex lagopus ) resemble a small, gray-brown dog in summer, but turn pure white in winter. Unlike most other foxes, their ears are rounded on the tips - an adaptation to the extreme cold that they must endure in winter. Arctic foxes are more common in coastal areas, especially on the northern Seward Peninsula. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes ) and the several color variants of this species are found throughout the Seward Peninsula. They may often be seen along streams or other water courses or around cabins.

Red foxes are usually a little larger than your average house cat. The fox is an important part of the ecosystem. Contrary to what is usually believed, foxes naturally control rodent populations and can be used to persuade coyotes away as well. They don't attack domestic animals unless in defence as well. A fox's top running speed is near 35mph running flat out. A group of foxes is called a skulk. The red fox is one of the most common carnivores in the world.

Its frightening decline in numbers is due not only to in- discriminate shooting, but also to outbreaks of rabies, which certainly decimated its numbers in the Semyen area. In this part of Ethiopia it is now extremely rare, even rarer than the Walia Ibex,' but it has another stronghold, in Bale, which the Walia doesn't.

Resembling a small, slender dog, it is a shy, nervous animal, and, for the most part, it tries to remain hidden from view. Unlike the dog, it is equipped with furred foot pads. Foxes dig their three to nine metre long dens in sandy or gravely soil with two or three entrances. They are conscientious parents and remain together as family units until autumn when the pups disperse. Their winter diet consists mainly of small mammals such as mice, squirrels, and rabbits. In the summer months, insects, crayfish, and vegetable matter play a more important part in their feeding habits. They are preyed upon chiefly by coyotes and bobcats. Home Discover Nature!

Foxes are in the same family as dogs, coyotes, and wolves (Canidae). They do not bark like dogs (unless they need to give a warning). They do howl and whine. Red foxes are what you usually see in Florida, but they are not always red. Sometimes a red fox looks black or silver, but it always has white on the tips of its tail. A red fox is about three feet long from its nose to the end of its bushy tail, but it only weighs about 10 pounds. It looks like it should weigh more, but most of that size is fluffy fur. In the wild, red foxes usually live about 5 years. WHAT PREDATORS DOES A FOX HAVE? Man is their main predator. Foxes are hunted for sport, hunted for their fur coats, shot by farmers, or hit by cars.

This fox is only about the size of a house cat, standing about 30 cm high and weighing about 2.7 kilograms. The swift fox gets its name because it can reach speeds of up to 40 km per hour. At one time the fox could be found in great numbers all over the Canadian grasslands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Their U.S. range included several states between North Dakota and Mexico. Status: The swift fox is now endangered in 90% of its historical habitat range.
