The Red Fox The largest of all vulpine foxes, the red fox is the most successful, an\ d certainly the most recognisable. A doglike animal, its adult mass can vary between thr\ ee and fourteen kilograms. The males are, on average, ten to fifteen percent he\ avier than the females, although the considerable size differences between individuals \ in this species make it difficult to use this as a guideline. Body length typically varies between 82 and 110 centimetres, of which a \ prominent bushy tail accounts for about a third. The tail is useful as a counterba\ lance while running and jumping. It also provides insulation and warmth in cold weat\ her, and is used to communicate with other foxes. Other characteristic features of t\ he red fox are its elongated muzzle, triangular ears, and luxurious coat of fur. Foxes, like many other animals, employ digitigrade motion. That is, they\ walk and run on their toes, with their heels positioned off the ground, high up on th\ e leg. This method of locomotion allows silent, swift, and agile movement, and can a\ lso be seen in cats, dogs, and horses. Several of the fox’s bones are narrower than those of other dogs, and\ the limb bones are built much more lightly. The stomach of the fox is proportionately h\ alf as large as those of other canines. This reduction of weight allows it to run extrem\ ely quickly (trotting speed is between six and thirteen kilometres per hour, and speeds up to 72 kilometres per hour have been cited), and with great agility. The fox pays a penalty for its smaller stomac h in that it must eat more frequently. When eating, it will use its 42 teeth. These include prominent canines w\ hich hold prey, incisors for cutting and shearing meat, and molars for grinding up bones\ and vegetable matter. 1 What type of fox is the red fox?

It can also move extremely quickly. In addition, it has 42 teeth, which is more than a human being has. You’ll just love the red fox.
