RED FOX

Post by BornBad » August 4th, 2004, 1:02 pm

There is some question whether the red fox is native to North America, or originated from the European red fox, which was introduced into the southeastern United States and New England around 1750. Red foxes are also native to Europe and Asia.

Characteristics: The red fox is a small, long-legged predator that weighs between 8 and 12 pounds, has reddish-yellow fur, black legs and ears and a bushy tail tipped with white.
I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature’s ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. – Fred Bear
