Characteristics
The red fox has orangish-red fur on its back, sides and head. It has white fur under its neck and on its chest. It has a long bushy tail tipped in white, pointed black ears and black legs and feet.
Range
The red fox can be found in most of the United States and Canada, except for the far north in Canada and Alaska and much of the western U.S. and Hawaii. The red fox is found throughout New Hampshire. The red fox is also found in Europe and Asia and it has been introduced to Australia.
Habitat
The red fox makes its home in wooded areas, prairies and farmland.
Diet
The red fox eats a wide variety of foods. It is an omnivore and its diet includes fruits, berries and grasses. It also eats birds and small mammals like squirrels, rabbits and mice. A large part of the red fox's diet is made up invertebrates like crickets, caterpillars, grasshoppers, beetles and crayfish. The red fox will continue to hunt even when it is full. It stores extra food under leaves, snow or dirt.

Life Cycle

The red fox mates from January through March. The female will make one or more dens right after mating. The extra dens are used if the original den is disturbed. A little less than two months after mating, the female gives birth to a litter of between one and ten kits. The male brings the female food while she is caring for the kits.

The kits start playing outside the den when they are about a month old. The mother begins feeding her kits regurgitated food, but eventually she will bring them live prey to "play" with and eat. Playing with live prey helps the young kits develop the skills they will need for hunting. The kits leave their mother when they are about seven months old.

Behavior

The red fox is mostly nocturnal, although it will sometimes venture out in the day. The red fox, unlike other mammals, hears low-frequency sounds very well. It can hear small animals digging underground and will frequently dig in the dirt or snow to catch prey. The fox stalks its prey, much like a cat. It gets as close as it can and then pounces and chases its prey.

Except for breeding females, the fox doesn't usually use a den. Sometimes it will sleep in the open, wrapping its bushy tail around its nose to stay warm. When it does use a den, it will usually find an abandoned rabbit or marmot den instead of making its own den.

About the Sierra Nevada Red Fox

The Sierra Nevada red fox lives in the subalpine regions of the Sierra Nevada mountains. With only about 50 individuals remaining, it is highly endangered.

The Sierra Nevada red fox is a subspecies of the red fox ( Vulpes vulpes), which has a narrow pointed muzzle, long thin legs, and a thick bushy tail with a white tip. The Sierra Nevada red fox is the only red fox that occurs naturally in the high mountain habitats of the Sierra Nevada and southern Cascade mountains of eastern California. They live in the open conifer woodlands and mountain meadows near the treeline.

The Sierra Nevada red fox is probably the most rare and endangered red fox subspecies in North America. A population is known to occur in the Lassen Peak region, where they are occasionally seen or photographed.

Relatively little is known about the Sierra Nevada red fox, as they are very hard to study. They live in remote, rugged mountain habitats. They are generally solitary and so do not occur in groups or herds. Like other red foxes, they are nocturnal, and they usually avoid people. Their remote rugged habitats, low population density, and elusive habits make them very difficult for biologists to study.
