A sunny day is an excellent time for seeing fox babies playing and interacting with their mother when they are nursing. The mother fox, also known as the fox vixen, has five kits or cubs. Her babies have just begun to spend time above ground. The fox vixen routinely feeds them, mostly with her milk, but today, she gives them an animal bone to chew. They stay inside the underground den, waiting for her to arrive. When she does, she will use soft vocalizations to get their attention. The fox cubs spend up to an hour above ground whenever she comes to feed and attend. Fox cubs like to play and will wrestle and fight each other for fun. The red fox is a carnivorous meat-eating canine mammal animal predator that hunts other animals when it is feeding and dining; they are carnivores with excellent hunting skills for catching a large variety of animals including birds and other smaller mammal animals. Their keen eyesight and hearing help them achieve the necessary amount of successful pounce and attack animal prey hunts; although the red foxes are predators, they will occasionally eat different plants fruit, and grains when foraging nutritional food to add to their predatorial meat-eater diets. A female red fox is known as a vixen, and a male red fox is known as a dog fox; a fox baby is known as a kit or cub.
