Gray Foxes

Gray Foxes

Gray foxes have gray fur with a little white on their ears and a little on their sides. They have a little black on their tails. They are as big as a dog and have bushy tails and ears like a cat. Baby gray foxes are cute.

Gray foxes live in caves and around forests. They like to live near trees and farms because they eat chickens. The dad watches the babies while the mom goes out to get food. Foxes eat hares, eggs, chickens and rabbits.

Gray foxes are the only foxes that climb trees. They climb trees to get away from predators like hunters. Owls, hawks, bobcats and eagles eat baby foxes.

The gray foxes in my picture are eating hares. The mom is back with two more hares for the babies because they're still hungry. The daddy is still watching them at home in their cave.

I like gray foxes because they can climb trees and cats can too. Gray foxes are soft and furry.
