What Are Foxes?
Although 3 colour morphs (red, silver or black and cross) are generally recognised worldwide, the red morph is most common in Australia. In general, the throat and abdomen are white, lower legs and ears are black and a bushy tail is tipped in white.
Foxes occur in a variety of habitat types, including arctic tundra, desert, temperate forests, boreal forests, meadows, grasslands, agricultural and urban environments. They attain their highest densities in human-dominated habitats. Foxes are not found in tropical climates.
Red foxes were introduced into Australia in the 1850s and have spread across 76% of the continent.
