Общая информация о лисе:

Look at the picture. You can see a fox sitting on its 4 paws in the snow. Foxes are omnivorous (1) mammals that belong to Canidae family.

The fox has triangular face, dark pricked ears, black eyes and elongated muzzle. Its whiskers are black the body is red and the lower (2) part of the face and the chest are white. It has a bushy (3) tail. It also has large ear pavilion (4) - locators, using which they can catch sounds of preys (5) and catch them. Unlike (6) most members of the family Canidae, foxes have partially (7) retractable claws.

The color and size of foxes vary from place to place the northern foxes live the larger and brighter they become. Southern foxes are smaller and darker. The length of its body (without tail) can reach up to 90 cm. The length of the tail is up to 60 cm. The body weight can reach up to 10 kg.

Summer fur is much rarer (8) and shorter than the winter fur. That’s why in summer foxes can look a little scruffy (9).

The main part of foxes’ food is small rodents (10) although they also eat many different plants.

Foxes dig holes or occupy empty holes of badgers (11), marmots (12), arctic foxes (13) and other animals that also live in dens (14).

Like the wolf, the fox belongs to monogamous animals. Foxes are good parents. Males take an active part in the upbringing (15) of the offspring, and also take care of the females even before the appearance of the young foxes.

Foxes usually have up to 12 cubs (16) that look like wolves’ ones but differ in white tip on their tails.

In the wild, foxes rarely live more than seven years but in captivity, they can live up to 20-25 years.
