Red Fox

Red foxes are found almost everywhere in the continental United States where there’s ample forest, tree cover or wetlands, and a many of these creatures call south Louisiana home. As more of their range has been developed in suburban neighborhoods and other structures, red foxes have adapted and become frequent trash scavengers. They’re good at escaping, so it isn’t super common to see a fox in a well-populated area. Red foxes are named for their reddish color and are very closely related to the gray fox.
