Foxes

Foxes

Foxes are sharp and informed and can adapt to their environment, similar to dogs and wolves. They have animal families! In places such as Indiana, we see mostly the red and the gray foxes. Red foxes look quite accepting of their orange fur, white tummies, and tails that have a white end. They don’t weigh a lot, similar to a big school bag.

Physical Characteristics and Behavior

Gray foxes aren’t only gray–they have some red spots and their tails have a black end. These foxes eat what they can find, such as small animals, bugs, and leftovers from humans. They usually go out at night, but if they’re really hungry, you might see them during the day. In the cold part of the year, they dwell in place with their families.

Habitat and Urban Encroachment

Foxes live in forests and even in major cities! They sleep in dens that can be under your porch or in a pile of sticks. But foxes can be a bit of trouble when they come too close to our homes. They can hurt small pets and mess up our houses by digging under them to make their homes, especially with their babies in the spring. That’s why it’s vitally important to have people who really care and will fix these problems – they take responsibility and show real leadership!

Common Issues and Risks

We have to think and discuss how we live together without causing problems. Foxes are somewhat similar to wild dogs with fluffy tails that can make your family and pets sick, because they may potentially carry harmful elements like rabies or bugs that bite.

Preventive Measures

They can become trouble if they decide to dwell in the place where you live. You don’t want them to live in your backyard, so make sure your trash cans are shut tight, and don’t leave your pet’s food out. Make it hard for them to hide under places such as your porch. And putting up special fences can keep your chickens and bunnies safe too. It’s vitally important to keep your yard neat so foxes don’t think it’s a good hiding spot.
