In addition to rodents, they catch lizards, fish, crayfish, and get shells. After rain they eat earthworms. The fox also eats berries, apples, some vegetables. Foxes can also eat oat crops.
Interesting Fox Facts
The fox knows how to confuse tracks and confuse hunting dogs (she seems to “intertwine” her tracks with those of dogs, as well as other foxes and forest dwellers). She can also cover her tracks with her tail. Fleeing from hunters, foxes are well aware that it is impossible to go out into an open place where they can be reached.
A study published in the journal Animal Behavior found that foxes from 96 locations recognized riddles, but foxes from only 31 locations touched them, and foxes from only 12 locations gained access to food.
What is the vision of a fox
Foxes have excellent eyesight. They can see just as well as cats. Their eyes are very cat-like due to their vertical pupils. They are also very fast.
Foxes are well oriented on the ground even in the dead of night. But, oddly enough, when moving and hunting, foxes are used to relying not on sight, but on other senses - smell and touch. They have excellent hearing and a nose that is very sensitive to smells.
