What it does/Behaviours

Foxs are great night time predators because their

eyes are especially suited to night time vision
During breeding season the dog fox will support the
female (vixen) by bringing food for the family.
The cubs eyes and ears start to open after two weeks
and at four weeks they will move out of their dens
However many cubs die due to other (dogs and
badgers) but their worst predator is the motor car.
So watch out for the fox when youre driving home
from work at night!
