Fox

Fox Foxes are small to medium sized mammals with a long narrow snout and bushy tail. The most common species is the red fox which is found on almost every continent. The gray fox is much rairer and is unlikely to be seen in the UK.

Unlike wolves and jackals, foxes are usually not pack animals but live in small family groups. They are scavengers and opportunistic hunters eating a wide range of foods from small insects and animals to fruit and berries.
