Fox Tales 2017

     Red foxes are featured in Newfoundland, Canada.  They are nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the borders of an old grove forest.  The matron gives birth to small pups in a cave den among rocks.  She brings food for the pups as they grow, learn to hunt, adapt and survive.  The father fox is nearby until the pups are older.  He also hunts and brings food for the family until they have more growth.  Scientists in Madison Wisconsin and Bristol England also talk about their studies on urban red foxes.  In Madison, many foxes live in cities and they are able to find plenty of available food and dens.  In Bristol, foxes come into the yards of people and food is left for them.  Some neighbors don’t appreciate the food attracting foxes but they are the minority.  Red foxes have also branched out to the Arctic tundra and they are surviving in one of the harshest landscapes.  The Arctic foxes are more adapted to the region than the red foxes.

     This is an interesting subject and there was a lot of information that I didn’t know.  I was surprised that people are feeding the red foxes in their backyards in Bristol.  It’s common to see them running down the streets there and also in American urban areas.  3 ½*  ( I liked this movie)
