Foxes are small to medium-sized, omnivorous mammals belonging to the family Canidae. Known for their sharp features, bushy tails, and cunning behavior, foxes are found across various continents including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. The most well-known species is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), distinguished by its reddish fur and white-tipped tail.
Foxes are highly adaptable and thrive in diverse environments, from forests and grasslands to urban areas. They are solitary hunters, primarily feeding on small mammals, birds, insects, and fruits. Their keen senses of hearing and smell aid in locating prey.
Foxes play important roles in their ecosystems by controlling rodent populations and dispersing seeds. Despite being sometimes viewed as pests, they are admired for their intelligence and resourcefulness in folklore and culture worldwide.
