Facts about the red fox:

The red fox is common and widespread in Scandinavia. It belongs to the dog family, just like the wolf and jackal. The fox is characterized by its triangular head, pointed snout, reddish-brown coat colour and bushy tail with a white tip. The ears are triangular, often black and large.

Its diet consists mainly of mice, birds, eggs, rabbits, hares, rabbits, but sometimes fruit, mushrooms, carrion and household waste.

The male is the largest and can be up to 40% larger than the female. He weighs around 8 kg while the female only weighs around 5-6 kg. An adult male fox measures approximately 110 cm from tip of the nose to tip of the tail.

The preferred habitat of the fox is in varied mosaic landscapes where it has the opportunity to forage in different habitats.
Like the badger, the fox is a family animal, consisting of a parent pair, their young and sometimes also females from previous litters.

The fox is pregnant for 53 days and gives birth to litters of 4-8 pups. When these are around 30 days old, they venture outside the fox’s nest. As a ground-dweller, the fox digs long tunnels underground where it spends most of the day. The fox is most active at night, but when the female is foraging for her cubs, the female fox can be seen in the middle of the day.
