A vixen is a female fox, known for its cunning and adaptability. Vixens are typically smaller than their male counterparts, called dogs. They have a reddish-brown coat, a bushy tail, and sharp features, which help them blend into their natural habitats. Vixens are known for their nurturing behavior, especially during the breeding season. They give birth to a litter of kits, which they care for until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Vixens are also skilled hunters, often preying on small mammals, birds, and insects to provide for their young.
