Fox
Fox is a common name for many species of
omnivorous mammals belonging to the
Canidae family. Foxes
are small to medium-sized (smaller than a medium-sized domestic dog), characterized by possessing a long narrow snout, and a bushy tail.
Foxes eat small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and poultry and
also cultivated grapes, raspberries, and
other fruit, but they usually don’t bother garden vegetables.
Foxes that well adapted to urban life will have a longer life than
their rural counterparts and a death that is more likely to come from accident
than by predation, hunting, or trapping.
Foxes aren’t dangerous to humans, except when they are rabid which
is very rare. The fox’s natural tendency is to flee rather than fight.
In all, foxes do such little damage and cause so few conflicts
with people that we hesitate to characterize them as a problem at all.
Nonetheless, thousands are killed every year because they are perceived as
threats.
