Time to type out my report. Good luck.
Foxes are amazing creatures. God has designed them each specially to survive in their environment. God's wisdom is shown from the design to keep a fennec cool to how arctic foxes keep warm.
One breed of fox is the red fox. Like all foxes, red foxes are classified as carnivores but are actually omnivores. Red foxes eat insects, mice, small animals, worms, and even garbage if they live near a town. Red foxes are in the dog family. A red fox has a rust color with black legs,a white-tipped tail, and a white underside. Fox babies have a couple names: cub, whelp, pup, and kit. Kits are born after about seven and a half weeks and four to six kits are in a litter. Pups start hunting for themselves around three months old. Vixen, female foxes, give birth in burrows, which can also be called dens or earths. A den can be in a rock pile, log, cave, hollow tree, or a hole dug in the ground.
An arctic fox is a great example of how God designed animals for their environment. Arctic foxes have long, full fur to stay warm. Their ears are also small to allow less body heat to leave. In the winter,their coat is silver, white, or steel blue. Their fur is grey or brown in the summer. They are one and a half to two feet long and their tail is eleven to thirteen inches. Arctic foxes have four to eleven cubs in a litter. After two weeks, the cubs open their eyes. They start eating solid foot after six weeks. Arctic foxes eat hares, squirrels, eggs, birds, lemmings, voles, sea urchins, coast invertebrates, shellfish, and beach flies. After a storm,they search the beach for for seals and whale carcasses. If meat is not available, an arctic fox will eat berries or fruit.
Fennec foxes are another example we can look at to see God's wise design in His creation. Fennec foxes are the smallest fox breed. Despite their small size, fennecs are noted for their large ears. Since fennec foxes can not sweat, their large ears help them release excess body heat. Fennecs have a sandy-colored fur to help blend in with their environment. Like most desert animals, the fennec fox is nocturnal. It hunts for lizards, small rodents, insects, desert fruits, and desert plants. Fennec foxes are fourteen to sixteen inches and their tails are seven to twelve inches. They have two to five kits in a litter. After twelve days, the kits open their eyes. The kits start eating solid food at around three and a half weeks. They are considered adults at nine months. Fennec foxes are the most social fox breed. They live in groups of ten and will play with and groom each other. Fennec foxes are even pets in some places.
Grey foxes are quite unique. Unlike other foxes, grey foxes have short legs to climb. They are shy and like to hide throughout the day. Grey foxes eat wild grapes, wild cherries, small rodents, birds, mice, eggs, and squirrels. They have night vision and are slow. Grey foxes surprise their prey instead of chasing it. Grey foxes will also hide food to eat later. Grey foxes are two to two and a half feet long and their tails are four to twelve inches. They have three to five pups in a litter. When a vixen is giving birth, she makes the male leave the den. At six months, the pups are fully weaned. A grey fox's call can easily be confused with a coyote's.
Bat-eared foxes are somewhat similar to fennec foxes. Like fennec foxes, bat-eared foxes have large ears. They use their large ears to locate food. They mainly eat insects, but may also eat small mammals, eggs, young birds, tubers, fruit, and scorpions. Bat-eared foxes are the only animal in the dog family eating almost just insects. Bat-eared foxes like to live in plains and have deep burrows for protection. They live in southern and eastern Africa. They have two to six kits in a litter. After six months, the kits are considered adults. Bat-eared foxes are sand-colored on their underside and have greyish brown backs. The only enemies a bat-eared fox has are leopards and people. The bat-eared fox is hunted for its soft, dense fur, mainly April to July.
