![]() Foxes prefer woodlands because of their instinct to den in the winter. They prefer to live in woodlands, but can adapt to many different environments such as deserts, mountain ranges, grasslands and even suburban areas. ![]() Red Foxes are native to the northern hemisphere and can be found in wide range. It's their ability to sense danger that assists the fox in evading it. Since the Red Fox is the size of a small dog, it has its share of predators to be aware of, among them: coyotes, bald eagles, gray wolves, mountain lions, bears and humans. They are omnivores with diets consisting of mainly grasses, bugs, berries and small animals, rodents, rabbits, and fish, occasionally fruits and vegetables. Their sense of hearing is so good that they can hear animals beneath the ground! They also have a keen sense of sight, smell, and are able to communicate with each other with 28 different vocalizations. Like dogs, they are hunters and will hunt even when not hungry. They mark their territories with their urine and feces like some cats and dogs do and they pounce on their prey like cats do. They can jump high fences like a cat and swim well like a dog. At first sight, Red Foxes seem to have many traits both of cats and dogs.
