The red fox

Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus 1758)

---

Greetings, I am the Red fox!

I hide in the wood –  in hollow trees, among the brambles or in my burrows, called dens. I sleep lazily during the day. Then, at dusk, I go hunting for rodents, hares and hedgehogs, but I also eat wild fruit and berries. And since I am “as smart as a fox”, when I have more food than I can eat, I hide it in small holes so I have a reserve supply.

If you find my footprints in the woods, follow them – you might be lucky enough to meet me!
