Foxes are widespread animals, which belong to the Canidae family. The habitat of a fox varies from forests and steppes to deserts and mountains.
Even though this animal is found in many countries of Europe and Asia, kids and adults get most of information about these animals from childhood stories, where foxes usually are represented as sly and quick animals.
We decided to change this situation a bit and created a list of true facts about foxes and interesting things one might want to know about them.
This video presentation was created for educational purposes (all sources and credits are listed in the end of the video and in the “further reading sections”) and includes such fun facts about foxes:
- mousing leap as an adaptation for the winter season;
- can you get a pet fox?
- why fennec foxes have fur on their paws;
- fennecs as the smallest representatives of the dog family;
- why desert foxes need 6-inch-long ears;
- forms of communication used by these wild animals;
- how foxes use their tails.
