The Gray Fox is the forest fox of the eastern United States; The Red Fox prefers more open habitats. The Gray Fox is unique among the wild dog species of North America in that it is an excellent tree climber and can leap from branch to branch like a cat. This ability allows it to escape from predators, forage for food, and gain access to dens or resting places. One Gray Fox den was found in a hollow tree 9.1 m (30 ft) above the ground! This fox is most active at night, also at dusk and dawn. It feeds on birds, eggs, rabbits, rodents, squirrels, fruits, and nuts. Predators of the Gray Fox include eagles, Coyotes, and Bobcats. The Gray Fox is one of several carnivores which are known carriers of rabies disease.

They are also known to be intelligent and mischievous.

Only those with a spirit of adventure can be a Fox.

A Fox is prepared for adventure any time and in any weather.
