Each month I will post about a certain wild animal species native to British Isles and Europe continent. There are too many wonderful animals to choose from and this project is for a topic once a month, at the beginning of a month, and it lasts for a year. I had to randomly select an animal from the countryside instead of just spending ages deciding what to pick for this post.
Foxes are the subject of this month of May. Also belonging to Vulpes vulpes the fox are well known members of the British countryside. Most commonly found in Britain, Ireland and Western Europe are the red foxes who dwell in woodlands. They have vivid coloured fur, some varying shades of colour and patterns called morphs. Omnivores that go for small prey, insects and berries.
There are also urban foxes that are larger and tend to live closer to humans. Many of these foxes dwell in small towns and cities, regarded as a nuisance as they can carry diseases. Urban foxes tend to be lighter coloured, pale yellow or sometimes greyish yellow. I've encountered many urban foxes and they're a different colour to the reds in the countryside. They're also nocturnal and are sole animals as they don't hunt in packs.
Foxes are able to climb trees!
