Foxes are mammals of the carnivorous canine family, living in forests, grasslands, semi-deserts and hills, living in tree holes or burrows in the soil, looking for food in the evening and returning home at dawn. The natural enemies of foxes in nature are wolves, lynx, birds of prey such as eagles, vultures and so on. Let's take a look.

The wolf and the fox

Wolves and foxes are incompatible. Wolves kill foxes when they see them, but they usually don't eat their bodies. In fact, both wolves and foxes prey on small animals, so there is competition. This is why wolves kill foxes. But foxes themselves are not wolves' food. Wolves' experience in food is inherited by female wolves. Female wolves do not teach their young to eat foxes, so when they grow up, they subconsciously do not regard foxes as prey. So he usually doesn't eat after being killed.

Adult lynx

The lynx is the natural enemy of the fox, and the fox is no match for the lynx in the fight. It was reported that in April 2008, a newly independent sub-adult lynx killed and ate a large fox.

The Eagle and the vulture

Eagles and vultures are natural enemies of foxes. Although foxes drool in their bodies and drive away some predators, they are ineffective against birds of prey such as eagles. In addition, there are very few areas on earth where both eagles and foxes live at the same time.
