Get to know your wild neighbors
More than a pretty tail.
Three little things to spark
a big sense of wonder.
A dog cousin,
Those ears aren't
just for looks.
A red fox can hear small animals moving out of sight. It listens, tilts its head, and pounces to catch its next meal.
A built-in
cozy blanket.
A fox's bushy tail helps with balance. When it's time to rest, a fox can curl up and wrap its tail around itself to keep warm.
A question for curious minds: are all foxes red?
No! Arctic foxes can have white coats in winter, and fennec foxes have sandy-colored fur. Even red foxes can have different coat colors. There's a whole world of foxes to discover!
