Foxes are members of the dog family. A female fox is called a "vixen", a male fox is called a "dog fox" or a "tod" and baby foxes are called "pups", "kits" or "cubs". A group of foxes is called a "skulk" or a "leash". Foxes are the only type of dog capable of retracting their claws like cats do
There are many different types of foxes, and they are the most widespread species of wild dog in the world. Foxes live just about everywhere – in the countryside, cities, forests, mountains and grasslands. Arctic foxes live in cold climates far north, and fennec foxes live in the North African desert
Foxes are small to medium-sized, omnivorous mammals belonging to several genera of the family Canidae. Foxes have a flattened skull, upright triangular ears, a pointed, slightly upturned snout, and a long bushy tail. Twelve species belong to the monophyletic "true foxes" group of genus Vulpes
