When August 25, 2019

Where: Faunapark Flakkee Nieuwe-Tonge, The Netherlands

Summer is the time when you can really tell which of the Foxes is female, and which is the male - especially if they gave birth that spring. You see, the male maintains his beauty, while the females look all scraggly and tired from taking care of two litters of babies.

But that's more so from the neck down. You can tell, by this girl's scruffy neck that she is in fact one of the mothers

Species: Red Fox (Rode vos)

Latin name: Vulpes Vulpes

Originates from the entire Northern Hemisphere, and has been introduced to Australia.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…The Red Fox is the largest of true Foxes, and the most geographically spread.

…It distinguishes itself in its ability to adapt quickly to new and changed environments, and is not enlisted as endangered anywhere.

…Despite its name, the Red Fox is known to appear in abnormal colorings, such as albinos and melanists.

… Silver Foxes are a mutation of the Red Fox, bred for their fur and now finding their way into life-long homes at zoos, saved from being skinned and their pelts sold.
