Quite often in nature there is such an animal as a fox. Representatives of this species live in North America, Europe, North Africa and even Asia. The fox belongs to the class of mammals. Despite their small size, which does not exceed 90 centimeters, foxes are excellent hunters. The fox differs from other animals not only by its bright fur, it has a slightly elongated body and a long muzzle. The fox is decorated with a fluffy tail and slightly pointed ears. With their ears, a fox can perfectly hear both prey and danger. Her tail warms up in the cold, and in normal times it serves as an assistant in maintaining balance. The color of the fox is very beautiful. Most often it is red, with a slight shade of yellow. The animal looks beautiful in winter, because on white snow the color of the chanterelle seems even brighter. In summer, she tries to shed, shedding the old ugly wool, so that over time a long and fluffy one grows. That's why in ancient times fox fur was very valued, which is why foxes were often hunted and destroyed. It was all done for profit.

Foxes prefer to live in burrows that they dig themselves. For housing, they choose places near rivers or on the hillside. These animals do not like to settle in the forest, so their burrows may be closer to the open area. Foxes prefer to lead a sedentary way of life. Most often they do not stray too far from their home. The fox's burrow consists of a nesting place and several passages to it. This place serves as a special secluded house where they not only sleep, but also raise their puppies. The diet of foxes consists most often of small rodents. Their favorite treats are ground squirrels and field mice. When a fox can't catch a rodent, she goes in search of a bird. The animal does not disdain eggs from the nests of some birds. Sometimes he eats berries and various fruits. Foxes prefer to go hunting early in the morning or when it is already well dark. Since they have a well-developed hearing and nose, it is not difficult for them to hunt at night. Despite the fact that foxes are perfectly oriented and see in the dark, it turns out that they do not distinguish colors. When the prey is already caught, the fox tries to tear it into small pieces, and only then eat it, and without chewing. Foxes are not used to stocking up on food, they prefer to eat their food right away. If the fox is not hungry, and she has already caught a mouse, then after playing with it, she will torture the rodent until she loses her senses.

As for choosing a life partner, here animals find their mate without any problems, and create a family together. Little foxes are always born blind and even deaf. They feed on their mother's milk, and when two weeks pass, they begin to see and hear everything around them. There are about 20 most diverse species of foxes in nature. The most common in this case is considered to be a red ordinary fox. In addition, Brazilian, African, gray and other types of foxes live in nature. Many fairy tales and stories have been invented about the fox. In them, she appears to be a very clever and cunning beast. In fact, she is like that in nature, her cunning allows the fox to survive. The fox is excellent at deceiving its prey, confusing and hiding its tracks, and all in order to catch someone and feed its cubs.


Red foxes live around the world in many diverse habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains, and deserts.

They also adapt well to human environments such as farms and suburban areas. The red fox's resourcefulness has earned it a legendary reputation for intelligence and cunning.

Red foxes are solitary hunters. They feed on rodents, rabbits, birds, and other small animals. But their diet can be as flexible as their home habitat. Foxes can eat fruit and vegetables, fish, frogs, and even worms. If living among humans, foxes will dine on garbage and pet food.

Like a cat's, the fox's thick tail aids its balance, but it has other uses as well. A fox uses its tail as a warm cover in cold weather and as a signal flag to communicate with other foxes.

Перевод на русский язык

Лисицы живут по всему миру в разных средах обитания, включая леса, луга, горы и пустыни.

Они также хорошо адаптируются к среде обитания человека, такой как фермы и пригороды. Благодаря своей изобретательности лисицы имеют легендарную репутацию умных и хитрых животных.

Лисы – одиночные охотники. Они питаются грызунами, кроликами, птицами и другими мелкими животными. Но их диета такая же гибкая, как и их среда обитания. Лисы могут есть фрукты и овощи, рыбу, лягушек и даже червей. Проживая среди людей, лисы питаются мусором и кормом для домашних животных.

Как и у кошек, толстый хвост лисы помогает ей сохранять равновесие, но он имеет и другое предназначение. Лиса использует свой хвост в качестве теплого укрытия в холодную погоду и как сигнальный флаг для общения с другими лисицами.

Мама разрешила оставить мне его у себя. Я выпускал его побегать по комнате. Кормил его и ухаживал. Но мне казалась, что ему будет лучше на свободе. И в тот же день я отпустил его в лес к своей семье.
