Will not believe your eyes, but these are the facts. Really good video that is worth watching until the last second ..........
Fox (Vulpes vulpes), called and red fox is the most common type of foxes. It has the widest range of any terrestrial predators. They are the largest species in the genus Foxes (Vulpes) and inhabit North America and Eurasia, as well as parts of North Africa.
In the 19th century fox was brought to Australia, but the results were negative. It is believed that it inflicts more damage than the damage caused by wild cats and lagomorphs.
Foxes have a positive and a negative reputation among the people. Foxes are carriers of disease and disaster for shepherds and farmers, but also important for industry. In the minds of Bulgarians fox is a symbol of stealth and cunning (see Dodger (archetype)).
Japanese fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica) is a subspecies, which migrated from India to China and then in Japan.
The fox is usually orange-colored coat with a white belly and black ears and feet. Her eyes are golden yellow and have distinctive vertical cut pupils as in cats. Fox is very agile for a representative of the family dogs. Its long bushy tail, which has a typical white-tipped, it provides balance when jumping and overshoots. In Bulgaria than ordinary fox occurs fox "vaglishtarka". It has matovochervena coat, no characteristic white spot on its tail and coat seems sprinkled with soot, from where it actually comes its name.
The old fox has a weight of 4.1 to 5.4 kg. The length of the body and reaches 80 cm to 110.Goleminata them is different, such as those in Europe are larger than those in North America. In autumn and winter coat it grows even more to protect it from cold. This hair falls in the spring and late summer fox fur is short.
Foxes are omnivorous. They feed on rodents, insects, fruits, worms, carrion, eggs, mice and other small animals. Use special method of hunting mice. Fox freezes, listening and watching carefully mouse which saw. Then jumps high and stuck his front feet on the mouse, pressing her on the ground.
42 have healthy teeth, which catch their prey. Consume an average of 0.5-1 kg of food per day.
Fox breeding period varies depending on the geographical area which it inhabits. Those in the south, multiply in December-January; northern populations breed in February-April; and individuals who are between the southern and northern foxes breed in January-February. Females have an annual estrus, which lasts 1-6 days. Ovulation is spontaneous. Copulation is loud and short, lasting no more than 20 seconds. Although a female may mate with several males (who fight for it), she finally chooses to live with only one.
Males bring food to females before and after birth, and otherwise generally leave it in small "maternal den". The average number of cubs of a mother are 5, there are cases where the mother has 13 cubs. Young are born blind and weigh up to 150 grams. See again until about two weeks and make the first steps outside the den to 5 weeks. The mother weaning to 10 weeks.
In the autumn of the same year the young cubs are scattered and occupy their own territories. Reach sexual maturity at 10 months and live about 12 years in captivity and about three years in the wild.
Due to the vast area, which occupies the fox has a different behavior. In "Biology and Conservation order dogs in nature," McDonald and Silero-zubir claim that the behavior of the two populations of foxes may differ as if they are from two different species.
Because they are mostly dim animals tended to night life type of places where people foxes are active mainly at night and twilight. Generally hunt alone. If you find more food than you can eat, fox hides it for later.
Generally each fox defend its territory. Foxes mate only during the winter and summer forage for food. Territories may be large (eg. 50 km², when food is scarce), but in places where food is abundant, they are small (no more than 12 km²). Foxes arranged several dens in these areas. They can be removed from the previous residents such as marmots, or to be made anew. In winter, use a main lair, where the fox lives, born and grown smaller. Smaller dens are intended for emergency and food storage. Often these smaller dens are related to the core through several tunnels.
Usually foxes are monogamous and mate in winter, which contributes to the cultivation of 4-6 young each year. In some places, however, there are polygamy and / or polygyny, the reasons for this are not fully understood. Some cubs quickly dispersed when they reach sexual maturity (8-10 months). Sometimes they remain in their home territory and help to nourish the next cubs.
There is no consensus on the cause of this type of behavior "group life". According to some researchers, individuals who do not reproduce, inflating small probability to survive, while others say the difference is insignificant.
Foxes communicate with body language and with a variety of vocalizations (sounds). Voice range is large and the sounds can be of type "is lost" (three barks) to a "scream" close to human scream. They communicate with smell, as the boundaries of food and territory with urine or faeces.
The top of the tail, almost at its base, foxes have little bald spot. When resting, curled, they often nose there. This place is a gland emitting the smell of forest violets. Violet gland have both male and female foxes. It is particularly aromatic winter. Scientists do not know yet what they serve.
Watch what happens when a wild fox and dog are found in the woods! SUPER like and share video!
