Description
Red fox hears something he thinks it might be supper if he just waits.The winter fur is dense, soft, silky and relatively long. For the northern foxes, the fur is very long, dense and fluffy, but is shorter, sparser and coarser in southern forms
Red foxes have binocular vision.but their sight reacts mainly to movement. Their auditory perception is acute, being able to hear black grouses changing roosts at 600 paces, the flight of crows at 0.250.5 kilometers (0.160.31 mi) and the squeaking of mice at about 100 meters (330 ft).] They are capable of locating sounds to within one degree at 7003,000 Hz, though less accurately at higher frequencies. Their sense of smell is good, but weaker than that of dogs.
In areas in North America where red fox and coyote populations are sympatric, fox ranges tend to be located outside coyote territories. The principal cause of this separation is believed to be active avoidance of coyotes by the foxes. Interactions between the two species vary in nature, ranging from active antagonism to indifference. The majority of aggressive encounters are initiated by coyotes, and there are few reports of red foxes acting aggressively toward coyotes except when attacked or when their kits were approached. Foxes and coyotes have sometimes been seen feeding together.[
