2. My animal is a kit fox. Also known as Vulpes
macrotis. It is very cute.

3. It eats kangaroo rats, cotton tail rabbits, black
tailed jack rabbits, hares, prairie dogs, insects,
lizards, snakes, fish, and ground dwelling
birds.

4. Good examples of common habitats are
sagebrush and saltbush.

6. Baby kit foxes are born in a den. They come out
form their den at the age of 2 months. After
that they stay near the den until after 5 months
when they live on their own. The number of
pups in a fox litter varies from one to as many
as four-teen depending on the species. A
mother kit fox usually has four or five pups in
a litter. Foxes live in group family.

9. A kit fox is a very small animal but it is very
intelligent. It usually has a gray coat, with rust
tones and a black tip to its tail. The inside part
of the kit foxes ears are white. The inner
surfaces of the kit foxes ears are covered with
thick fur that helps to keep out sand. Kit foxes
are very fluffy.
