Move Over Rover! 5732
When the potential for a meal is at hand tempers will flare, and foxes will battle for supremacy. Many females are busy getting ready for the birth of their kits about now. Mating occurs from December into January. Gestation lasts about 55 days. Kits will be born blind and unable to walk. It will be 3 to 4 weeks before they have matured enough to leave their dens. The parents, both male and female, will care for the kits. There may be other adults, usually young adults from the previous year, that have not yet dispersed and may also help care for the new litter. Red foxes have complex social relationships, perhaps some of the most complex of any fox. These relationships differ based on location, food sources and quantities, and proximity to humans. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #America #USA #RedFoxes #Foxes #DrDADBooks #Canon #PickYourPark #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
