Have you ever seen a red fox? These intelligent animals are found in urban and rural environments across North America, but did you know they\u2019re also found in Europe, North Africa, and Australia?! You might think, based on the red fox\u2019s name that its coat is, well, red\u2026 but not always! Red fox fur is sometimes silver, brown or even black. They have lovely bushy tails that help them with balance and help to keep them warm in chilly temperatures. Red foxes are rad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Fox Grows Up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dog and vixen (that\u2019s a male and female fox) make great parents. When they\u2019re ready to start a family, they find a cozy den to have their babies in, sometimes using the burrow of another animal. When their pups are born in the spring (between 1-10 are born at once, but 5 is average), the red fox parents care for them throughout the summer. In the beginning the pups are fed pre-chewed food by their parents, but eventually they learn to hunt for themselves. In the fall, the little foxes are ready to head out on their own. And they need our help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lending a Hand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although red foxes are widely distributed, habitat loss is threatening their survival. But we can help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
