Red Fox

 For our Information report this week I have done a report on my favourite animal the Red Fox. I hope that this report on the Red Fox will entertain and teach you something today.

Red Fox

The Red Fox is A swift agile creature. Once they are born they have a hard live ahead of them full of danger and challenges, they must face predators hunt for food and make homes for future generations. Predators The Red Fox has many predators, the animal that kills the most Red Foxes every year are Eagles. Eagles attack mostly cubs but sometimes attack full grown Red Foxes. Another predator that kills a lot of foxes every year are coyotes. Sometimes animals as big as bears will hunt foxes in order to get enough food. Dens Red Foxes make dens in almost all terrains they Build dens in desert sand and arctic snow. Foxes have special layouts to their dens: the first entrance comes down on a slow slant and halfway between the entrance of the den and the main area they have a food cache that they keep their food in. The second entrance they have is on a much more vertical angle and lead straight to the main area of the den. Prey Red Foxes hunt many things. They hunt bye sneaking up on their prey and then pouncing. They hunt things from Goose chicks to rabbits and Mice. For different types of prey they sometimes use different strategies. For example when they are hunting Goose chicks they have to wait until the fierce mother of the Chicks isn’t watching.When hunting rabbits they sometimes attack them while they are in the dens made of snow they creep up and then break the roof in to get to the rabbit. Conclusion In conclusion foxes must be careful because they have many dangerous predators, but they also have to get enough food to feed themselves and their young. They must also of course have to be clean and tidy to keep their dens clear.
