More About Foxes

  • The fox is a scavenger omnivore dog, generally found in urban city areas in the Northern Hemisphere. The fox is a nocturnal mammal, meaning that the fox only goes out at night to hunt for prey.
  • Wild foxes tend to live for around 6-7 years, but some foxes have been known to be older than 13 in captivity. The wild fox hunts for mice and other small mammals and birds, but foxes appear to enjoy all species of insects.
  • A fox is generally smaller than other members of the dog family like wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs. Foxes can be a pest in the cities as foxes are often seen tearing into rubbish.
  • There are around 12 different species of fox found around the world, which include the urban fox or red fox, the beautifully white Arctic fox, the sand fox which is a light-colored fox found in desert regions, and the tiny big-eared Fennec fox.
  • Foxes in Europe have been the victims of fox hunting, an extremely controversial sport that involves humans on horses hunting out the fox, lead by a pack of hound dogs that would find the fox by following the scent of the fox. Fox hunting in this manner is now illegal, although it is still allowed if the sport only contains humans on horseback, without the use of their somewhat vicious but clever dogs.
  • The fox is also found in the more rural areas of the Northern hemisphere, although fox numbers in the countryside are outnumbered by fox numbers in cities as due to the foxes scavenging nature, food is more readily available in the urban streets.
