Red fox fects: (fect 1) Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest fox in the world A large subspecies measuring 70–90 cm in length and weighing 5–10 kg; the maximum length of the skull for males is 163.2 mm. The fur is bright red with a strongly developed whitish and yellow ripple on the lower back. (fact 2)Foxes will hunt "Game bird's" also known as "Galliformes" tukey, wild roosters & hens and peacock ect. They will also hunt smell reptiles like frogs, toads, lizards, and snakes. In fact they will eat leach's and young "ungulates" like elephant, giraffe, zebra, and buffalo and even other foxes. (fact 3) Foxes are vulnerable to wolves coyotes, golden jackals, and large predatory birds such as golden eagles and Eurasian eagle owls, and medium- and large-sized felines. (fact 4) The red fox is considered a more specialised form of Vulpes than the Afghan, corsac and Bengal foxes (fact 5) The sister lineage of Red foxes is Rüppell's fox, but the two species are surprisingly closely related for mitochondrial DNA markers. (fact 6)The red fox has an elongated body and relatively short limbs. The tail, which is longer than half the body length. (70) percent of head and body length) is fluffy and reaches the ground when in a standing position. Their pupils are oval and vertically oriented.[6] Nictitating membranes are present, but move only when the eyes are closed. (fact 7) The forepaws have five toes, while the hind feet have only four and lack dewclaws. (fact 8) They are very agile and flexible, being capable of jumping over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high fences, and swim well. (fact 9) Their skulls are fairly narrow and elongated, with small braincases and Their canine teeth are relatively long. (fact 10)The red fox is a wide-ranging species. Its range covers nearly 70,000,000 km2 (27,000,000 sq mi) including as far north as the Arctic Circle. It occurs all across Europe, in Africa north of the Sahara Desert, throughout Asia apart from extreme Southeast Asia, and across North America apart from most of the southwestern United States and Mexico. It is absent in Greenland, Iceland, the Arctic islands, the most northern parts of central Siberia, and in extreme deserts. (fact 11) Red foxes either establish stable home ranges within particular areas or are itinerant with no fixed abode. They use their urine to mark their territories. (fact 12) The average litter size consists of four to six kits, though litters of up to 13 kits have occurred. Large litters are typical in areas where fox mortality is high. Kits are born blind, deaf and toothless, with dark brown fluffy fur. At birth, they weigh 56–110 g (2.0–3.9 oz) and measure 14.5 cm (5.7 in) in body length and 7.5 cm (3.0 in) in tail length. At birth, they are short-legged, large-headed and have broad chests. Mothers remain with the kits for 2–3 weeks, as they are unable to thermoregulate. During this period the fathers feed the mothers. Vixens are very protective of their kits, and have been known to even fight off terriers in their defence. If the mother dies before the kits are independent, the father takes over as their provider. The kits' eyes open after 13–15 days, during which time their ear canals open and their upper teeth erupt, with the lower teeth emerging 3–4 days later. Their eyes are initially blue, but change to amber at 4–5 weeks. Coat colour begins to change at three weeks of age, when the black eye streak appears. By one month, red and white patches are apparent on their faces. During this time, their ears erect and their muzzles elongate. Kits begin to leave their dens and experiment with solid food brought by their parents at the age of 3–4 weeks. The lactation period lasts 6–7 weeks. Their woolly coats begin to be coated by shiny guard hairs after 8 weeks. By the age of 3–4 months, the kits are long-legged, narrow-chested and sinewy. They reach adult proportions at the age of 6–7 months. Some vixens may reach sexual maturity at the age of 9–10 months, thus bearing their first litters at one year of age. In captivity, their longevity can be as long as 15 years, though in the wild they typically do not survive past 5 years of age. (fact 13) Outside the breeding season, most red foxes favour living in the open, in densely vegetated areas, though they may enter burrows to escape bad weather. Their burrows are often dug on hill or mountain slopes, ravines, bluffs, steep banks of water bodies, ditches, depressions, gutters, in rock clefts and neglected human environments. Red foxes prefer to dig their burrows on well drained soils. Dens built among tree roots can last for decades, while those dug on the steppes last only several years. They may permanently abandon their dens during mange outbreaks, possibly as a defence mechanism against the spread of disease.
