Foxes: Behavior, Habitat, and Survival

Foxes are diverse canids related to jackals and wolves, found globally except Antarctica. They vary in size and color, adapting to different environments. Foxes are omnivorous, hunting with keen senses and storing food. Unlike other canids, they live in small family groups or alone, with complex vocalizations for communication. Foxes have fixed territories with dens, and mating occurs seasonally. Pups are born blind and deaf, with both parents involved in rearing. Juvenile mortality is high due to predation and disease, with an average lifespan of 1-5 years.
