About foxex
Classification of foxes
Foxes include about 27 species (of which 12 species belong to the genus Vulpes or ”true fox”) with small to medium sizes, belonging to the Canidae family.
Species in the Canidae family considered foxes include members of the following genera:
- Alopex: Arctic fox, although final mammal classification as well as genetic evidence places it in the genus Vulpes, rather than its own separate genus Alopex.
- Cerdocyon: Fox that eats crabs
- Chrysocyon: Maned wolf (Maned wolf in English, aguara guazú (‘big fox’) in Guarani and zorro rojizo (‘dragon fox’), one of several names used by Spanish speakers.
- Dusicyon: Falkland Islands fox
- Lycalopex: 6 fox species in South America
- Otocyon: Bat-eared fox
- Urocyon: Gray fox, Channel Islands fox and Cozumel fox
- Vulpes: Includes 12 species of true foxes, including red foxes, V. vulpes, Tibetan foxes, V. ferrilata and their closest relatives.
Fox habitat
Foxes are a species with diverse habitats and are widespread throughout Europe, Asia, North America, North Africa and Australia.
They prefer to live in burrows, using holes dug by other animals, as well as large tree cavities and caves. Mountain areas with vegetation and sand are also places where foxes like to place their nests. The cave is a place they often use when raising their young, and they may choose an open place to stay during other seasons.
The snow fox, which lives in Arctic tundra environments in northern Europe, northern Asia and North America, has adapted very well to harsh and cold conditions. Their thick fur and heat exchange system help them stay warm even when temperatures drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius.
Arctic foxes, unique mammals native to Iceland, have crossed the frozen sea to reach the Arctic tundra regions. They have special fur and biological structures that help them survive in harsh conditions. In Súðavik, the Arctic fox center studies the effects of tourism on fox populations. During the last ice age, snow foxes had a larger distribution range and their fossils are widely found in northern Europe and Siberia.
Fox lifespan: How long do foxes live?
The average lifespan of a fox in the wild is 3-4 years. However, when kept in captivity, foxes can live much longer, with an average lifespan of 10-14 years.
Some notable fox species and their lifespans include:
- Arctic fox: Lives 4 years in the wild and can live up to 14 years in captivity.
- Red fox: Can live 2-6 years in the natural environment and 10-14 years in captivity.
- Fennec fox: Can live up to 10 years in the wild and 14 years in captivity.
Factors that affect fox longevity include predation by larger animals, diseases such as parasitic infections, and habitat loss due to human impact.
