RED FOX

The red fox is an animal you will come across during your visit to the park. This mammal, which has a red fur coat, a fine muzzle and a long bushy tail, is widespread all over the world, particularly in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and North Africa.

This animal is a carnivore and mostly consumes small mammals as well as birds such as partirdges or grouse. The red fox will also eat berries. When it wants to store food, it buries or hides it.

Red fox couples are monogamous and will have one to ten cubs that will be fed by the father while the mother waits for their eyes to open. Then she will go hunt while the father keeps an eye on them.

Silver fox

Of the same genetics as the red fox, the silver fox is less widespread. It is distinguished by its coat which can vary from complete black to blue, gray or ash gray. However, the tip of its tail is always white, counting for one third of the total length of the animal (from 90 to 112 cm).

In the park they share their territory with the Rocky Mountain goats. They have nothing to fear since they can weigh more than 22 times the weight of the fox and the latter only hunts small mammals
