Red foxes have excellent hearing—they can hear rodents digging miles underground. These animals have more than 20 different calls. A group of foxes is called a skulk or a leash. Kits stay with their parents for about seven months.
Red foxes live around the world in many diverse habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains, and deserts. They also adapt well to human environments such as farms, suburban areas, and even large communities. The red fox’s resourcefulness has earned it a legendary reputation for intelligence and cunning.
