I know, I know. The audacity I have to get that forsaken tune stuck in your head for not only one day, but two. I plead the fifth; however, writing a blog post about foxes does deserve such a fitting title, and considering I don’t plan on writing about them for an extended duration of time, the title is staying, two days in a row or not.
Again, this information comes from mentalfloss.com.
“Geographically, the red fox has the widest range of any of the 280 animals in the order Carnivora. While its natural habitat is a mixed landscape of scrub and woodland, its flexible diet allows it to adapt to many environments. As a result, its range is the entire Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to North Africa to Central America to the Asiatic steppes. It’s even in Australia, where it’s considered an invasive species.
“Like a guided missile, the fox harnesses Earth’s magnetic field to hunt. Other animals, like birds, sharks, and turtles, have this ‘magnetic sense,’ but the fox is the first one known to use it to catch prey. According to New Scientist, the fox can see the planet’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 prey lines up, it’s time to pounce.
“Fox pups are born blind and don’t open their eyes until nine days after birth. During that time, they stay with the vixen (female) in the den while the dog (male) brings them food. They live with their parents until they’re seven months old. Vixens sometimes go to great lengths to protect their pups—once, in England, a fox pup was caught in a wire trap for two weeks but survived because its mother brought it food every day,” the web page explains.
I encourage you to read all of the facts listed pertaining to foxes on the website because they are quite interesting.
