KENZO FOX

               

What do gray foxes eat?

The grey fox is omnivorous, meaning it eats both plants and other animal. unlike otherCan ids that hunt in packs, the grey fox hunts alone. It will stalk its prey for a while then pounce, using its long curved claws to trap and kill its victim. The preferred meal for a grey fox is a cottontail rabbit, but it will feast on other small mammals such as mice, wood rats, and cotton rats. This variety of vertebrates makes up the majority of a grey fox’s diet in the winter. The grey fox also eats invertebrates such as grasshoppers, beetles, butterflies, and moths. Along with birds, eggs, fruits, nuts, and grains, these invertebrates make up most of a grey fox’s diet in the spring. If a grey fox has excess food, it is a common habit to bury it and mark it with urine or their scent glands to ward off other animals and to make it easier to find later.
