Where it is found arrund the world

A fox’s range varies from 10 hectares in cities to over 2000 hectares in rural area.
They were introduced to Australia in the mid-19th century and are native to Europe, Asia and North Africa.
There are native and non-native red foxes in North America; the native foxes are a Canadian Boreal Forest species that historically occurred in the northern regions of North America. They colonised there shortly after the last glacial period, around 11,000 years ago. The non-native species were released by early European settlers for hunting purposes, as ear ly as the mid 1700s.

Surroundings the animal needs to thrive

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.

Where the animal makes its home (in the ground / tree / other …)

A fox’s den is normally a burrow underground, also known as an ‘earth’, but they can also live above ground in a cosy hollow.
Foxes have also been known to climb trees and settle on low branches.
