Description: |
A dog-like animal with reddish-brown fur and a white tip to the tail. It is common in towns and cities where it raids dustbins. Those living in the country are much more shy. Foxes will eat almost anything they can find, including carrion (animals that are already dead). They will also hunt for mice and small birds. |
