The name "Fox" is given to a number of smaller species of the Canine
Family, but "true foxes" fall into the Genus Vulpes. The most well known
and well recognised species is the Red Fox. He is extremely widespread
across the Northern Hemisphere, with numerous subspecies. The Red Fox
lives in pairs or small family groups, either establishing a territory
or leading an itinerant lifestyle. His main diet consists of rodents,
with the occasional rabbit or larger prey taken. Urbanised Red Foxes
have become something of a problem in cities, where they can raid
rubbish bins, attack chickens and ruin gardens.
