Foxes are small to medium-sized bushy tailed canines that are members of the dog family. There are two main types of foxes: red foxes, which have orange-red fur on their back and sides with white fur on their chest and a white tipped tail, and live in wooded and farmland areas, mostly at night; and Arctic foxes, which have adaptations like thick fur and small ears that allow them to survive in cold tundra, and use incredible hearing to hunt prey beneath the snow.
