Red foxes are known for their cleverness. Their scientific name is "Vulpes Vulpes" which means "fox fox." Red foxes hunt by themselves, and live usually around the edge of forests. A fully grown red fox rarely weighs over fifteen pounds. Most of their hunting is done at night, and they can travel over five miles in one night just hunting. Red foxes are not picky, and will eat whatever they can find or catch, whether it is dead or alive. However, if it has a choice, one of its favorite foods are mice. They're good at catching mice, very good, because they can hear one squeal almost 150 yards away. They pounce on small prey, like the aforementioned mice, like a cat.

Red foxes are often hunted for their fur. But it seems that all that does is teach them more tricks to get away. Red foxes grow an extra-large fur coat during the winter to keep them warm. The "red" fox's fur is not really red at all. Their fur is usually brown, yellowish-red or silverish.

When a female fox, or vixen, has a litter of fox pups, there are usually three to eight pups. They are all born blind, and it takes 3-7 days for their eyes to open so they can see. They're born underground where they can stay safe. For the first few weeks, the mother fox nurses the pups, and the father fox hunts and brings fresh meat to the pups. Then, after about six weeks, the pups start to be taught to hunt themselves. Golden eagles and bobcats are enemies of the red fox as they may snatch away one or more of the newborn pups. The first two images below are of several newborn red fox pups and a red fox pup, which can also be called cubs.
