Cape Fox

== Roleplays that feature this creature ==
* South African Savanna
== Other info ==
After catching their prey, they often hide the corpse so that they may return to it later to eat. The skulk will usually abandon the den once the kits reach the age of 4 months, for at that age the kits will be able to follow their parents around without being as much of a burden. Still, the skulk usually strongly prefers to remain within their territory instead of travelling far out of it. Vixens especially strongly prefer to stay within their territory.
Males will usually disperse from their birth skulk at the age of 5 months to a year. Although it's not unheard of for females to disperse as well, many vixens will choose to stay within their skulk. Although most canids choose to only have one litter a year, it's not unheard of for a cape fox to have multiple litters a year.
They usually prefer to hunt alone. They are fearful of black-backed jackals, as they quite frequently attack and kill cape foxes, to the point that 71% of cape fox mortalities are caused by jackal attacks.
