Normally reddish brown in color, with white under the chin, and down the belly as well as the tip of the tail. Some grayish, or black-silver combinations are possible as well. Ears and feet are black in color. The preferred habitat of the red fox is rolling farmland, mixed with some woodlands and streams, or marshes.
Red foxes eat a wide rage of things including insects, rodents, grass, fruits and, small birds.
Most notable for the skill in catching mice. They tend to rest in open areas where they can keep a look out for predators Red foxes mate in January and February with cubs, or kits as they are often called, being born 49-56 days later. Foxes use the abandoned burrows of other animals as their dens, where the young are born. The kits will remain in the den for 3-5 weeks. Kits will leave the den permanently after about 3 months, and the family group splits up in August usually.
