Red Fox – Native to Northern Hemisphere

Did you know that red foxes are the most widespread meat-eating mammals on Earth? Other than humans of course. They live across much of the northern hemisphere, in open areas like woodlands, wetlands, and brushy fields. With a tail over half its body length, the red fox is a quick and agile creature. They can run up to 31 miles per hour, jump over 6 feet high, and they can even swim! Equipped with excellent hearing as well, this makes the red fox difficult for predators to catch.
