Red Fox
Vulpes vulpes
The Red Fox is common throughout Ireland, and is a versatile species, adapting to many habitats.
Description
Maybe our most recognizable species, resembling a small dog. Reddish coat, white chest with a distinctive bushy tail.
Diet
Foxes are omnivores, hunting small mammals and birds, insects and carrion. They also eat fruit such as apples and blackberries as well as seeds and nuts. They also scavenge and are known to raid bins in urban areas. While they have close family units, they are solitary hunters.
Reproduction
Mating occurs between December to February. Cubs are born between March and April. Up to 14 cubs can be born, but usually 4-6 is normal. Cubs spend the first month in their den. During this time the mother stays with the cubs, while the male provides food. After a month the cubs venture out of the den, though never to far. It is not unusual for the vixen to move cubs to a new den. Around October or November the cubs are largely independent, though may remain in a family group.
