Fox in the marsh
The red fox is the biggest of all fox species and can be found in many different habitats around the world, including forests, grasslands, deserts and mountains – not to mention urban areas. This fox is in the Netherlands but red foxes can be found throughout most of Europe, as well as in temperate Asia, northern Africa and North America. A few foxy facts for you: A male is called a dog while the female is a vixen. A young fox is a kit, cub, or pup and they live in groups called skulks. The red fox's tail accounts for about a third of its length, and it can serve as a blanket, as well as a flag used to communicate with other foxes.
