They are adaptable and opportunistic feeders, thriving in varied environments from urban areas to dense forests. In winter, these animals use their thick fur coats to retain heat, and their keen senses to locate prey beneath the snow. Social creatures, red foxes often form family groups, especially when raising their young during the spring season. Their playful behavior, seen especially in the kits, is not just entertaining but crucial for developing the skills they need to survive in the wild. ***
