There are so many species of foxes that can be found at different corners of the world, but the red foxes are highest in number. Fox with the smallest size is known as fennec fox.

Life cycle:
A female Greensboro fox has the ability to give birth to around 5 or 6 cubs at the beginning of the spring season. When the babies take birth, both parents take responsibility to raise them as the male fox moves out to collect some food and the female stays with the baby in the den. The little young babies do not have fur on their tails, and they don’t even have proper hearing ability or visibility. At the time of birth, they appear very tiny creatures and are completely dependent on their parents to get food and care. As soon as the summer season arrives, the female fox stops lactating, and then the den becomes abandoned; however, the male foxes keep on bringing food for the babies. By the middle of the summer season, the babies also learn to hunt for food.

Habitat:
North Carolina foxes prefer to live in the wild areas, but a few species of these animals are endangered, so they are protected to avoid their extinction. The wild foxes can also visit urban areas in search of food. If you have lots of fruits and rodents in your garden, foxes may come more often to attack the area.

Diet:
Greensboro foxes are omnivorous creatures and they can consume anything that comes their way. Their diet patterns are not influenced by environmental conditions. In most cases, they prefer to attack bird foods, breads, bones and meat etc. They can also attack fallen fruit in your habitat.
