Red Fox Kit
Vulpes vulpes (kit)
Red fox kits are born in underground dens and spend their first weeks close to the burrow entrance under adult care. They begin on milk, then practice chewing insects, small scraps of meat, and prey brought back by adults. Young kits wrestle, pounce, and stalk littermates as practice for hunting. Their blue-gray eyes and woolly coat change as they grow into the adult red coat.
