Field Notes

Description:

Red foxes are a shade of yellowish red. There is usually a trace of black in the fur of the middle of the back and in the bushy tail, the feet and other side of the tips of the ears are black. The throat, underside of the body and tip of the tail are white. The fox I saw was molting its winter fur after the winter months when the fur coat is fullest and brightest.

Habitat:

Spotted near South Tamarac Lake. Red foxes live in a variety of habitats in Minnesota, but prefer semi-open country to forest.
