Description
Red foxes have excellent hearing, due in part to their pointy ears. Red foxes are
able to hear low frequency sounds, this helps them track prey and listen for rodents
digging underground.
Foxes are known to have both canine and feline characteristics. Even though they are
considered to be a member of the dog family, they have feline characteristics such
as vertically slit eyes and retractable claws. They are excellent tree climbers
and also play with their prey before killing it, just like a cat.
Foxes are known for their brilliant night-vision and are primarily nocturnal animals,
Red fox has exceptional eyesight but their sight responds to the movement.
Their eyes are coloured yellow/gold and they have distinctive vertical pupils that
are similar to felines rather than rounded pupils like other canines.
Red Fox (Vulpes, vulpes) lives up to 4 years old in the wild on average.
Red fox are cautious, smart,and sly.
