The red fox has a long history with humans

 The red fox is a canid native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand. The red fox has a long history with humans, having been extensively hunted for its fur since the eighteenth century for use in clothing. It is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The red fox is often smaller than other members of the family Canidae such as wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs. It was given that name because of its reddish coloration; it is sometimes called the "American Red Fox" or "Common Red Fox". 

I'm not sure what you would do if you found a red fox in your backyard. What do they eat? Where do they live? How long can they live? What is their daily life like? 

The red fox is a small to medium-sized canid that has been found on every continent. Red foxes are usually shy, but they are occasionally aggressive when defending their dens or homes. The red fox is known for its bright reddish-orange coat when seen in the wild. When you’re out and about in the world, it can be hard to find time for all of your hobbies. It’s also hard to know what things you should do first when you get home from work or school. One thing that really benefits from being done early is homework.  Red foxes are commonly found in forests, deserts, tundra's, and brushy plains. They can be identified by their long, bushy tails and pointy snouts. Red foxes are one of the most common species of fox in much of North America and Europe. 

Red foxes eat a variety of foods including berries, eggs, fruit, insects, meat, mice and voles. They usually live in family groups that include one breeding female (vixen), one or more non-breeding vixens (spare ones), young kits from the previous year's litter (kits), one or more breeding males (reproductives) and some offspring from the current year's kit litters. Kits are born. 

Red foxes, or Vulpes Vulpes, are members of the family Canidae. They live in every continent except Antarctica. Red foxes are one of the most common and best-known animal species. They're known for their bushy tails, pointed faces, and beautiful fur. Their fur is usually reddish-brown mixed with tan or black on their underbelly and their legs. It's thought that they may have been introduced to Europe by humans who bred them as pets in the 17th century. Red foxes also have a reputation for cunning behavior when it comes to food storage and hunting strategies; they often hoard food in order to hunt later in the winter when food sources are scarce.
