Red fox

The night animal most people already share a street with. Red foxes come out mostly after dark, in towns as well as the countryside, and urban foxes eat almost anything, from scavenged scraps to birds, small mammals, earthworms and insects. Summer evenings belong to the cubs. On spring and summer evenings, young foxes leave the den around dusk, and a quiet wait near a known den, or at a dark window overlooking a yard, can be rewarded with a whole family out in the open. Keep a dim red light, stay still and never approach the den itself. The harrowing scream people associate with foxes is a winter sound, so a summer night is more about watching than listening.
