Smaller than a coyote the red fox is distinguishable by its namesake red coat and bushy tail that ends in black with a white tip. They are mostly nocturnal but may be seen hunting during the day. They feed on small mammals, birds and insects while also foraging upon many plants. During breeding season they establish dens in well drained soil or under old growth tree roots, where they give birth to a litter of four to six baby foxes or kits. The only species of bear found within Arkansas, the black bear is found statewide, preferring the Ozark and Ouachita mountains and remote heavily forested habitat. They are mainly nocturnal but will forage near dusk. They are omnivores that have a wide diet variety consisting of small mammals, nuts, fruits, berries, insects, fish and grass roots.
