The living habits of foxes

Abstract: foxes have a wide range of living environment, which can be adapted and distributed in forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains and plains. Foxes often take stone cracks, tree holes, earth holes and graves as their homes, but they are very particular about their choices: first, they should be quiet and comfortable, second, they should be hidden and safe, and third, they should be convenient for others. In short, although foxes often use natural caves as their houses, they never make do with them casually, and sometimes even settle down after they are satisfied with their stay.

Foxes often take stone cracks, tree holes, earth holes and graves as their homes, but they are very particular about their choices: first, they should be quiet and comfortable, second, they should be hidden and safe, and third, they should be convenient for others. In short, although foxes often use natural caves as their houses, they never make do with them casually, and sometimes even settle down after they are satisfied with their stay.

Although foxes are carnivores, they have miscellaneous food habits. They not only feed on small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and shrimp, but also eat melons, fruits, roots, stems and leaves of plants, and often change patterns to adjust food varieties. When food is difficult, even eat insects, reward, and so on.

The fox is small in size and limited in ability, so it cannot take prey like the jackals, tigers and leopards, but can only rely on "wisdom." it has a high IQ, a flexible brain, and many hunting ideas. before the action, it always thinks of several sets of plans, in addition to the specific capture steps, it is also very thoughtful about how to escape, so it is often easy to enter the village to do activities such as "sneaking around". Once the danger is found in the hunt, he would rather give up a good meal, endure hunger and run away as soon as possible. The fox will not do the stupid thing of "anti-rice". Foxes hunt in the wild, often choose an ambush, when the prey is close, suddenly attack, sometimes in a playful way to approach the prey, and then suddenly force, leap to catch the past. The food that cannot be eaten for a while is properly buried in preparation for re-eating. Foxes like to live in a dry, clean environment, climb cliffs, swim, nocturnal activities and look for food.

The lifespan of foxes varies from breed to breed. The life span of red fox is 8 ~ 12 years, breeding time is 4 ~ 6 years, silver and black fox is 10 ~ 12 years, breeding years is 5 ~ 6 years, life span of arctic foxes is 8 ~ 10 years, breeding years is 4 ~ 5 years, generally the best breeding age is 3 ~ 4 years old. Natural enemies in nature are wolves, lynx, hunting dogs, birds of prey such as eagles, vultures and so on.
