Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) Story

Dreaming of these photos, took us weeks looking around to locate their burrows.

Tracking droppings and food leftovers, we finally located one. From there after, it was an experience to tell.

Hiding early in the morning waiting for them to show and start their day, many photos were taken until they finaly gave us the family portrait.

Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are highly adaptable and widespread mammals found across diverse habitats in the Northern Hemisphere. Characterized by their distinctive reddish-brown fur, white-tipped tail, and black legs and ears, red foxes are known for their cunning and intelligence. They exhibit a versatile diet, preying on small mammals, birds, insects, and scavenging for fruits and vegetation when necessary. Red foxes are skilled hunters and have a keen sense of smell and hearing. They are also notable for their agility and playfulness, often engaging in social behaviors within family groups. Red foxes are successful urban adapters, inhabiting both rural landscapes and city outskirts. Their adaptability, combined with their striking appearance and behaviors, has solidified their place as one of the most well-known and widespread members of the Canidae family.
