Foxes are small to medium-sized mammals characterized by their brown and orange fur, long snouts, and bushy tails. They are omnivores that eat small animals as well as fruits, vegetables, and insects. Foxes can sleep anywhere and have a typical lifespan of 2-3 years, though some may live up to 10 years. While fox attacks on humans are rare, foxes are often hunted for sport in some areas.
