The European red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a small to medium-sized mammal found across Europe, parts of Asia, and North America. It has a distinctive reddish-brown coat, a bushy tail, and pointed ears. This adaptable species thrives in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas. European red foxes are primarily nocturnal and are known for their cunning behavior. They are omnivorous, feeding on small mammals, birds, fruits, and insects. Their keen senses and agility make them effective hunters, while their ability to adapt to different environments contributes to their widespread presence.
