RED FOX PUP FINE ART PRINT

I love red foxes and seeing them is always a pleasure. This little red fox pup caught my eye and I just had to draw him!

A group of them is called a skulk or leash
They have whiskers on their legs and face, which help them to navigate.
Grey foxes can retract their claws as cats do.
A male is called a ‘dog fox’ while a female is called a ‘vixen’
They are generally solitary animals; unlike wolves, they hunt on their own rather than in packs.
They dig underground dens where they take care of their kits and hide from predators.
Their pupils are vertical, similar to a cat, helping them to see well at night.
The tip of a red’s tail is white, whereas the swift has a black-tipped tail.
They have excellent hearing. The most common species the red can reportedly hear a watch ticking 37 meters away!
Like a cat, the fox is most active after the sun goes down.
There are 37 animals called foxes, only 12 are considered “true foxes”. Some of these include the red, Arctic, fennec, and kit.
They can see the earth’s magnetic field as a “ring of shadow” on its eyes that darkens as it moves toward magnetic north. When the shadow and the sound of the prey line up, it’s time to pounce.
The smallest species is called the Fennec Fox it can weigh as little as 3lbs.
In 2011, researchers opened a grave in a 16,500-year-old Jordan cemetery to find the remains of a man and his pet fox. This was 4000 years before the first-known human and domestic dog was buried together.
