Red fox, also known as red fox and fire fox, is a fox widely distributed all over the world and was once known as the most beautiful animal in the world. Because of the beautiful appearance of the red fox, it is rare, and it has become the most beautiful animal in many people's hearts.


The beautiful red fox is a nocturnal animal and its eyes are perfect for surviving in the dark.


If it is during the day, the red fox's eyes will shrink, but because its eyes have strong reflective properties, it will also cause concentrated reflection of light at night. So it is always bright in the dark.


What are the habits of the red fox?


Behavior.


The red fox has a developed sense of hearing and smell, a cunning temperament and agile action. They usually come out at night and sleep in caves during the day.


Their long tails keep them warm from moisture, but in remote locations they sometimes come out during the day in search of food.


Although the red fox has short legs, it has sharp claws and runs very fast. When chasing prey, the speed can reach more than 50 kilometers per hour, and it is good at swimming and climbing trees.


Food.


It mainly feeds on prairie voles, mice, squirrels, and rabbits, as well as wild birds, frogs, fish, insects, etc., as well as various wild fruits and crops.


Survival behavior.


Red foxes are suspicious by nature, and most of the time when they act, they will first carefully observe the surrounding environment.


The captured red fox has a set of "playing dead" skills. It can temporarily breathe weakly. It seemed to be dying, at the mercy of others, but when people were caught off guard, it suddenly and quickly ran away.


These cunning acts are a superb means of survival for the red fox.


Prey capture.


Do everything possible to catch prey.


Red foxes tend to look for traces of red foxes based on smell, calls and footprints in areas with lush vegetation and frequent voles and hares, and then approach their prey vigilantly and calmly, even crawling entirely on the ground.


Sometimes they feign pain or chase their tails to attract the attention of small animals such as cave rats. Suddenly came forward to capture.


It is distributed all over the world, but the distribution density of red fox varies greatly.


Due to the huge economic value of fur, human over-hunting has led to the scarcity of wild animals, resulting in a dwindling resource.
