Foxes are omnivorous. They eat small mammals, birds, insects, eggs, fruit, nuts, grains, and even human garbage. Rabbits are a preferred prey animal. Track photos courtesy of Mark Seaver . Personal Notes on Red Foxes I have heard stories of red fox dens found beneath freeway overpasses in southern California, but have yet to track one.
Foxes are fascinating animals and are very playful.
Of all the canines, I think the red fox has the most colorful coat. E-mail me and tell me about it. Back to Mammals page Back to the Animal Tracks Den Copyright 1998-2001.
