The Red Fox spans the globe located primarily in North America, Eurasia, and Northern Africa. This particular species of fox is one of the most common and is spread out in various habitats ranging from forests and prairies to the harsh arctic. The Red Fox lives up to 2 to 3 years in the wild and 13 to 14 years in captivity. Though it is classified as a carnivore the title is essentially misleading. In reality the Red Fox is an omnivore based on their patterning of eating. An extensive range of plants and animals makes up the diet of this species of fox. The majority of their diet includes various invertebrates and vertebrates and plant material such as fruit. Generally, they prefer to hunt alone and rarely hunt with others of their kind. |
