The red fox is found in New England and in many other areas of the world. It is most commonly red or brown in color, although about 10% of wild fox are silver or black (although they still belong to the "red fox" category). Fox in the wild can live between 2-6 years. They are opportunistic feeders, meaning that they will eat almost any food they can find, so their diets range greatly but can include berries, birds, reptiles, fish, rodents, vegetables, and even human garbage. Fox live in dens, and are most active at night, as well as at dusk and dawn2.
