Fox Fox



The most widespread dog in the wild, the Red Fox has overtaken wolves in their climb to the top, now laying claim to being the most widespread wild carnivore in the world. Typically found in the UK in woodland and open country, they are becoming renowned for their increasing movement into urban areas.

Opportunists who forage largely at night, red foxes will eat anything from insects to human leftovers, where upturned bins testify to their scavenging trips.
