Did you know that there are 23 living species of foxes?
Foxes belong to the Canidae family, which means that they’re closely related to animals like dogs and wolves!
These animals are hunters and they eat both meat and veggies, this makes them omnivores. They’re nocturnal creatures, which means that they’re most active at night. Except in the fall where they can be seen hunting in the day. They do this so they can start preparing for winter!
